How to treat vulvar pustular folliculitis

When women develop vulvar folliculitis, if it is more serious, it will lead to infection and pustular symptoms. We know that the skin tissue of the vulva is relatively delicate. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene or body functions and your resistance is relatively low, it is easy to cause vulvar folliculitis. At this time, you can use 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, or you can use Chinese medicine sitz bath, both of which have good therapeutic effects.

Treatment options

The treatment of vulvar folliculitis is not difficult. First of all, the vulva should be kept clean and dry. You can use 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution or Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxification for sitz bath, and then apply antibiotic ointment or Sihuang ointment or Jinhuang ointment. If there are many infected hair follicles and the pain is obvious, you should rest properly. If folliculitis recurs, you should check for systemic diseases.

Vulvar Folliculitis

1. Eliminate the cause and keep the vulva clean and dry as much as possible. Avoid irritation and squeezing.

2. In the early stage of the disease, 0.02% potassium permanganate warm water sitz bath can be used twice a day.

3. If multiple small pustules are formed or merge into large pustules, systemic antibiotics can be used for treatment.

4. For mature pustules, puncture and drain to remove pus, rinse with normal saline or other external disinfectant, and then apply antibiotic ointment, sulfonamide ointment, or 2% iodine tincture on the periphery.

5. If the pustules have not dried and scabbed 3 days after treatment, the cause should be investigated to determine whether there is concurrent Candida infection so that further treatment measures can be taken.

6. Special treatment for pubic folliculitis: Pubic folliculitis can be treated with Fulikang, which is usually widespread and severe. Moisture in the genitals makes it easier for bacteria to grow and spread. When using Fulikang, take an appropriate amount and apply evenly to the symptom area and surrounding radiated areas, and gently rub for 3-5 minutes until it is completely absorbed. Take "roxithromycin" orally 2-3 times a day during the treatment. Patients with vulvar folliculitis should pay special attention to daily cleanliness and hygiene, eat more vegetables and fruits, and foods rich in vitamins to improve the skin's own resistance.

Causes

Vulvar folliculitis is an inflammation caused by nonspecific purulent bacteria invading the hair follicles of the vulva. Scratching, friction, high temperature, humidity and sweating are the triggering factors of this disease.

Clinical manifestations

The skin around the hair follicles of the vulva becomes red, swollen and painful, gradually forming a cone-shaped pustule with a pubic hair protruding from its center. Pustules may be multiple, and adjacent small pustules may fuse together to form large pustules, accompanied by severe congestion, edema and pain in the vulva.

Clinical manifestations

At the beginning, there is pain at the opening of the hair follicle and its surrounding area, the skin is slightly red, and gradually red blisters appear and are tender.

There is a hair sticking out from the top of the red blister. If there is pus, a small white dot may appear on the top of the red blister. The pus head gradually increases in size and becomes cone-shaped. After a few days, the central tissue of the nodule becomes necrotic and softens, and a small yellow pus plug appears. After a few more days, the pus plug falls off, and pus is discharged. The inflammation gradually subsides, but it often recurs. There can be one or more hair follicles infected. If the inflammation gets worse, a boil may form.
