Patient's question:
Recently, during my menstrual period, I noticed a pimple growing outside my vagina. I didn't pay attention, and it kept getting bigger with a strong pain. Previously, I had itching and a bad odor in my vagina.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is actually just a simple vulvitis, without any vaginal issues.Advice: This situation primarily requires oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, along with topical cleansing of the affected area using a wash solution. Generally, oral medications like tinidazole or levofloxacin can be used, while topical options include Jieryin wash solution or a decoction of Chinese medicine herbs like snakeroot (Clematis chinensis) and bitter weed (Polygonum multiflorum) for soaking and rinsing the affected area. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, refrain from sexual activity for the time being, and avoid wearing tight clothing.
