Patient's question:
Medical Description: There is a rice-grain-sized lump on the lower inner side of the labia minora. It has been there for a year and a half, with no change in size. It causes a slight pain when touched during cleaning, but it is not itchy.History of Treatment and Effect: No treatment has been administered.
Help Needed: What could this be? Is it not likely to be an external genital tumor?
Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be eczema, this is a common inflammatory skin disease affecting the epidermis and the superficial dermis, caused by various internal and external factors. It is generally believed to be related to allergic reactions.It is recommended to take antihistamines orally, such as chlorpheniramine, which can be used alone or in combination, and can also be taken with vitamin C. For topical treatment, corticosteroid creams like trimethicone are suggested, but they should not be used for too long. Additionally, dietary adjustments are important—avoid spicy and irritating foods, and avoid consuming allergenic items such as alcohol and seafood. Shellfish should be avoided, and a light diet is preferred. Also, minimize exposure to external irritants, such as scratching, using soap, or soaking in hot water. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
