After taking Baofukang, there is itching of the external genitalia. Should the medication be discontinued?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Consider a drug holiday observation period. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness, dryness, and ventilation in the perineal area, change cotton underwear frequently, and choose loose-fitting underwear. Potassium permanganate solution can be used to clean the external genitalia or for sitz baths to reduce local friction. Antibiotics should be used when necessary.
