What should I do if my vulva becomes itchy and thickened? Let’s first understand the cause of the disease:

1. The most common local cause is increased vaginal discharge, especially vaginitis caused by Trichomonas or fungal infection. The discharge of a large amount of abnormal vaginal discharge irritates the vulva and causes itching.

2. Not paying attention to menstrual hygiene and not cleaning the vulva in time causes menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the vulva for a long time. Or wearing synthetic underwear on a regular basis, which often exposes the vulva to a hot and humid environment, can also cause itching of the vulva.

3. If you frequently use disinfectant to flush the vagina, or place certain drugs in the vagina, it may cause vulvar skin allergies or dermatitis, which may also cause vulvar itching.

4. People with pinworm disease often have itching caused by pinworms crawling out of the anus and irritating the area around the anus and vulva, especially at night, which may even affect sleep.

5. Vulvar eczema, vulvar dermatitis, etc. These diseases can not only cause varying degrees of itching, but the vulvar skin may also have varying degrees of changes and whitening, atrophy or thickening.

6. Frequently washing the vulva with strongly alkaline soap or potassium permanganate solution causes the skin to become dry, lack oil and become itchy.
