History of Treatment and Effect: The episiotomy wound is basically healed.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, it is recommended that you go to the hospital to have a professional doctor handle it. There may be some poorly absorbed residual threads inside this white blister. It is suggested to use appropriate methods to remove them, and pay attention to local disinfection. It is best to drink more water, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Also, avoid scratching. Additionally, you can use potassium permanganate solution with a concentration of 1:5000 to clean the external genitalia, apply warm compresses, and use povidone-iodine for disinfection. Observe the condition, and if it doesn't improve, go to the hospital for a check-up.
