Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: 24 hoursYesterday, I noticed a lump on my external genitalia. This morning, the lump has become much larger, with redness, swelling, and tenderness. Due to the sensitive location, I want to ask whether it is a gynecological or surgical condition? Is the problem serious? What are the solutions? Urgent!! Thank you
Doctor's answer:
Your condition is a manifestation of vulvar furuncle, caused by bacterial infection. This disease is not particularly serious, and you can rest assured. You can be treated through oral and topical anti-inflammatory medications. I recommend taking metronidazole orally and applying Bactroban topically to the affected area. Additionally, maintaining local hygiene by cleaning the vulva with Jieryin can help prevent recurrence.
