Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing itching in my external genital area. After scratching it, it started to sting. It hasn't improved in several days, and applying a little erythromycin ointment helped a bit. When I went to the hospital, I was told that there are moles on my external genital area. What should I do about moles on the external genital area? What causes them? Do they need to be treated?Doctor's answer:
Recently, if there is a recurrence of itching in the external genital area accompanied by a stinging sensation, it may be a manifestation of an external genital infection. Since pulling at the skin of the external genital area can easily lead to the recurrence of the infection, it can cause a stinging sensation. Therefore, it is not advisable to pull at the external genital area. If there is a recurrence of a mole in the external genital area, it may be caused by local melanin. However, it is still necessary to determine how the mole developed. If it is a melanoma, surgical removal is recommended.
