How to deal with vaginal allergy and itching

The vulva has its own self-protection mechanism, but occasionally it will be affected by some external allergens and feel itchy. Faced with this situation, our first task is to provide a comfortable and clean environment for the vagina. For example, when cleaning the vagina every night, use some special cleaning liquid. This does not include shower gel, soap, etc., because those will damage the environment of the vagina. Then wear some comfortable cotton underwear, apply corresponding ointment to the itchy areas to relieve the pain, and remember not to scratch the itch with your hands.

1. You can buy some special vaginal cleansing lotions, such as Sanofi or complex iodine. Take an appropriate amount of lotion every night to wash your vagina and keep it clean, hygienic and dry. After washing, you can apply some zinc oxide ointment. If it is chronic itching, you can use dexamethasone emulsion for external application, which is very effective.

2. Wear pure cotton underwear that is loose and comfortable. Underwear should be washed and disinfected frequently. It is best to use sanitary pads.

3. It is better to eat more whole grains, such as brown rice, pumpkin and whole wheat bread. You can supplement your body with vitamins appropriately and eat more red dates or wolfberries. You can also take chlorpheniramine, metronidazole, and ethidium bromide orally, which can treat genital itching.

4. Avoid scratching the genitals with your fingernails. Not only will it damage the skin, it will also create a vicious cycle and make the genitals more itchy. Before going to bed, you can apply moisturizing lotion all over your body, or use essential oils and gently massage with your hands. For itchy areas, use more force.

5. Certain diseases or local infections in the body may also cause vaginal itching. It is best to go to the hospital's gynecology department for an examination and receive treatment after a clear diagnosis.
