Patient's question:
What disease is it when the vulva itches with small red bumps, and is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Vulvar itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local causes include special infections (such as fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworms), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. Patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, jaundice, leukemia, vitamin A deficiency, or vitamin B deficiency also commonly experience vulvar itching. In some cases, there are no obvious local or systemic causes, which may be related to psychological or mental factors. Individuals with this condition should identify the underlying cause.
