What medicine should I buy for itchy lower body?

Many women have such a "bad habit": when they find vaginal itching, they think it is vaginitis, and immediately go to the pharmacy to buy antiviral drugs and external washes for self-treatment. Is it necessary to be so anxious? In fact, itching in women’s private parts is not necessarily caused by inflammation, and taking antiviral drugs indiscriminately will not work at all for itching caused by other reasons.

Although vaginitis can indeed cause private itching and abnormal leucorrhea, many diseases related to vaginal health may also cause itching. Once you have similar symptoms, you think you have vaginitis. This is an expression of irrational attitude towards the disease. Vaginal itching may also be caused by the following diseases.

Virus infection infection. Sexually active women who have foul-smelling discharge, discomfort, pain, itching in the private parts, or pain during sexual intercourse, as well as pink papules, are likely to have genital warts. Genital herpes may also cause local itching, with shiny blisters the size of millet grains appearing on the urethra and vaginal walls.

Private part diseases. Women with vulvitis will experience itching, pain, burning sensation, and even swelling, rashes, erosion, and ulcers in the private parts; patients with private dystrophy (leukoplakia of the vulva) have private itching as the clinical symptom, which is very unbearable for patients, accompanied by whitening of the private skin. Patients with hyperplastic type will have aggravated itching at night, and may have burning and other discomforts; most patients with vulvar cancer will have long-term itching, pain, burning sensation, and diffuse ulcers in the vulva during or before the occurrence of the disease, with pink secretions, mainly at night. Those who have not responded to treatments such as leukoplakia of the vulva and condyloma acuminatum are best screened for cancer.

Drug allergy or chemical irritation. Some women who use soap, condoms, mercurochrome, etc. in direct contact with their private parts are prone to contact dermatitis and itching. Some women with allergic constitutions who take sulfonamides or other drugs will develop "fixed drug rash", which is likely to cause vulvar erosion, exudation, etc. in addition to local itching.

Bad living habits cause unclean skin in private parts. Some women use handkerchiefs improperly, and the vulva skin is soaked by menstruation, female secretions, urine, excrement and sweat, or they usually wear synthetic underwear with poor breathability, which causes cold and damp air to accumulate, causing local skin inflammation and vulva itching.

Private skin lesions. If the skin damage of tinea cruris extends to the vulva, it will cause severe local itching; vulvar eczema is mainly manifested by papules and blisters with unclear boundaries and erosions on local skin, which is characterized by severe itching, and the onset is often related to skin allergies; the local itching caused by neurodermatitis is also very severe. In addition to causing local itching, it is often accompanied by private malnutrition and skin atrophy.

Skin allergies during sexual intercourse. Women with allergic constitution are particularly allergic to semen, condoms, etc., and are prone to local itching after sexual intercourse.

diabetes. Due to the high sugar content in the urine of diabetic patients and long-term irritation to the private skin, vulvar itching will be severe and even unbearable, but the appearance of some skin and mucous membranes is normal, or there are only scars and scabs due to excessive scratching.
