What is the cause of female vulvar itching?

Female vulvar itching may be caused by vulvitis, vulvar eczema, genital warts, etc.

1. Vulvitis:

It may be caused by bacterial infection or physical stimulation. Symptoms such as skin redness, swelling, burning sensation, and pain may occur. As the disease progresses, local secretions will increase and then accumulate locally, irritating the vulvar skin and mucous membranes and causing itching. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take drugs such as metronidazole tablets, amoxicillin capsules, and cefixime capsules.

2. Vulvar eczema:

Eczema mainly occurs on the vulva. If it comes into contact with heavy metals and allergic foods, it will cause vulvar skin damage, itching, swelling and pain. If not treated in time, the itching may become more obvious. It is necessary to take drugs such as levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets, loratadine tablets, and promethazine hydrochloride tablets for treatment.

3. Genital warts:

It is mainly caused by human papillomavirus infection, usually occurring in the genital area, causing local foreign body sensation and itching. As the disease progresses, cockscomb-like and cauliflower-like growths will appear, and you need to follow the doctor's advice and take drugs such as ribavirin granules, acyclovir dispersible tablets, and ganciclovir capsules.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be due to genital herpes and other reasons, which require treatment. During the treatment process, you need to wear loose and breathable clothes, which can reduce damage to the local skin and facilitate the recovery of the disease.
