Itchy labia

Many people have experienced itching on both sides of the labia, but few patients will go to the hospital for examination and treatment because of this situation. In this case, they will ignore the development of their disease, which will make their condition worse. During the treatment process, you also need to keep yourself clean and hygienic, change your underwear frequently, and try to wear loose and breathable underwear.

General treatment

Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, keep the vulva clean and dry, and avoid scratching. Do not wash with hot water and avoid using soap. When there is an infection, potassium permanganate solution can be used for a sitz bath, but local scrubbing is strictly prohibited. Clothing, especially underwear, should be loose and breathable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergic foods.

Treatment of the cause

Eliminate local or systemic factors that cause itching, such as Trichomonas, Candida infection or diabetes. If pubic lice are found, the pubic hair should be shaved, the underwear should be boiled and washed, and external fungicides and insecticides can also be applied.

External treatment

External treatment: Vulvar itching is a common disease among women. In addition to oral medications, external medications should also be used as they can directly reach the affected area and have the effect of killing bacteria and relieving itching.
