What to do if vulva is itchy and swollen?

Most normal women will endure the condition when they encounter vulvar itching. However, if the condition worsens, they will become restless, especially seriously affecting their sleep and quality of life. Vulvar itching can lead to sexual disharmony. So why does it happen? That is to say, what kind of disease is it? The following editor will introduce the causes of vulvar itching to everyone.

1. Scabies infection: When scabies occurs, the external skin lesions are the most serious, so local itching is also the most obvious.

2. Skin diseases of the vulva: The skin lesions of tinea cruris often extend to the vulva, causing severe local itching. The local itching caused by vulvar eczema and neurodermatitis is more severe. The former is manifested as papules and blisters with unclear local skin boundaries and erosion exudate, while the latter often causes thickening of the skin with lichenification due to scratching. In addition to causing local itching, leukoplakia of the vulva is often accompanied by vulvar malnutrition and skin atrophy.

3. Drug allergy: "Fixed drug rash" caused by sulfonamides or other drugs in women with allergic constitution often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva. In addition to local itching, it may be complicated by erosion and exudation. Vulvar itching may also occur if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur when using drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion.

4. Sexual allergy: It is an allergic reaction that occurs during sexual intercourse. There are people who are allergic to semen, condoms, and friction.

5. Viral infection: Genital warts mostly occur in the female vaginal wall, cervical opening and vulva, and also cause foul-smelling leucorrhea. Molluscum contagiosum occurring in the vulva often presents as round papules with an umbilical-like depression in the center, and may also cause itching in the vulva. Genital herpes is often manifested by the appearance of bright, rice-sized blisters on the urethral opening and vaginal wall, in addition to local itching.

Many of the above aspects are cases of vulvar itching caused by bacterial and viral infections.
