Can external itching be treated by applying alcohol and tincture of iodine to the external genitalia?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is recommended not to use it. Based on your situation, it is not ruled out that you may have symptoms of vaginitis. It is suggested that you actively go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test. Vaginitis includes types such as candidal, trichomonal, and mixed bacterial vaginitis. It is important to confirm the diagnosis before treating it symptomatically for better results. During treatment, avoid sexual activity and spicy foods. Change your underwear daily and wash it together with your towels and basin.
