Patient's question:
Description of the condition (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): Gynecological inflammation, applying anti-itch medication to the vulva?What kind of help do you want: Today, I experienced vulvar itching and went to apply medication. I applied some anti-itch cream to the vulva, but after one application, I didn’t change the cotton swab and put it back into the bottle to dip more cream before applying again. I’m worried that this might be done for other patients as well. If the bacteria on the cotton swab are transferred back into the bottle, won’t that contaminate the medication for others?
