Can vulvar eczema heal on its own? I'm going to change my mindset in the future.

Some women will be lucky enough to get away with it after developing vulvar eczema, and they think the disease will heal on its own. Experts say that vulvar eczema is indeed likely to heal on its own, but the probability is very low, so the correct approach after developing this disease is to actively treat it.

1. Eczema has a certain chance of self-healing, but this only applies to eczema with mild symptoms. It doesn’t mean that all eczema can heal on its own. Even if the symptoms of eczema are very mild, if the patient fails to take the necessary prevention and care, it is impossible for the eczema to heal on its own without medical treatment. This means that if the patient has eczema, he or she should go to the hospital for treatment. Don't wait for the pitifully small chance of self-healing.

2. Eczema can heal itself, but the probability of self-healing is very small, so here we still hope that eczema patients will be responsible for their eczema, cure their own eczema as soon as possible, and avoid the recurrence of eczema when the seasons change, which will affect the patients themselves.

3. Patients with eczema should try to avoid various external stimuli, such as washing with hot water and scratching vigorously. They should wear soft clothes, eat a light diet, avoid alcohol, seafood, shellfish and spicy food, and do not use chemical fiber products for underwear. They should keep a good mood and get enough sleep.

4. Vulvar eczema is difficult to treat:

1. General treatment

General treatment is to trace the cause as much as possible, isolate allergens and various adverse stimuli, and treat systemic chronic diseases such as indigestion, intestinal parasites, diabetes, mental and neurological disorders, etc. Keep the perineum clean and dry, do not use soap to clean skin lesions, and do not apply irritating antipruritic drugs. Avoid allergenic foods such as various foreign proteins, do not drink alcohol and eat spicy foods, etc. Avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress.

2. Local treatment

Local treatment is the main method, and cold wet compresses with saline are used in the acute phase. Apply zinc oxide ointment when erythema, blisters and exudation are not obvious. If there is no exudate or pustules, 1% phenolic glycerin lotion can be used for external washing. If there is obvious exudation, 3% boric acid solution and 1:8000-1:5000 potassium manganate solution can be used for cold wet compress. If erosion occurs, it is advisable to use compound copper sulfate solution for external washing to prevent corrosion and astringency.

In case of secondary bacterial and fungal infection, corresponding antibacterial and antifungal ointments such as 0.5% neomycin ointment, 2% oxytetracycline and zinc oxide ointment can be used for smearing. 0.1% ethacridine (Rivanol) solution can be used for wet compresses. In the scab period, in addition to wet compresses, triamcinolone acetate (triamcinolone) cream, fluocinolone acetonide cream, etc. can be applied to astringe and relieve itching and keep the area dry.
