What to do if a baby girl has vulva itching

Generally speaking, various abnormal conditions in the vagina will occur after women suffer from gynecological diseases, such as vaginal itching or abnormal leucorrhea. For some baby girls, gynecological diseases are basically rare because they do not have sexual life. But there are exceptions. So for baby girls, what should they do if they have symptoms of itching on the vulva?

Vulvar leukoplakia, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, burns, diabetes, anemia, etc. can also cause it.

1. Topical medication

Because vulvar itching is an external disease, the use of external medications is necessary. In case of infection, potassium permanganate solution can be used for sitting bath, but local scrubbing is strictly prohibited; in case of acute inflammation, 1% resolsin plus 1 foil of livanol solution or 30% boric acid solution can be used for wet compresses and then 40% zinc oxide ointment can be applied locally after washing; chronic itching can be treated with corticosteroid ointment or 2% diphenhydramine ointment.

For vulvar pain and itching that cannot be diagnosed for the time being, local wet compresses of 3% boric acid or 1%~2% raclonidine solution, 40% zinc oxide oil, calamine lotion and 2% diphenhydramine ointment can be used. If necessary, oral chlorpheniramine can be taken, but hormones, iodine, alcohol, etc. should not be used.

2. Oral medication

When symptoms are severe, you can take chlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, or isopropylamine orally to achieve both sedation and desensitization effects.

For vulvar pain and itching caused by trichomoniasis, take metronidazole orally under the guidance of a doctor, and insert dichlorvos tablets or metronidazole tablets into the vagina at the same time. The effect will be better if combined with vaginal douching. Married persons must examine their male spouse and receive treatment at the same time.

Avoid mental stress and don't cover yourself too thickly when sleeping, which can reduce the pain and itching. Eliminate human causes, pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, wear cotton underwear that is not too tight, avoid using alkaline soaps, and minimize mechanical stimulation to the vulva.
