Vulvar ulcer

Patient's question:

Allergic reaction to sanitary napkins during menstruation, appearing with ulcers

Doctor's answer:

For patients with acute external genital ulcers, attention should be paid to examining the skin, eyes, oral mucosa, and other areas for any lesions. During diagnosis, it is important to determine the size, number, shape, and base condition of the ulcers. Sometimes, the ulcer surface may be covered with secretions, which can easily lead to missed diagnoses. Therefore, a careful and thorough physical examination is necessary. Secretion smear culture, serological tests, or histopathological examination can aid in diagnosis.
