Question
My child was born three months ago, and I recently noticed that the joining place of the two labia minora is particularly itchy. When I touch it, there are some protrusions, and it doesn’t feel as smooth as other areas. The itching is quite severe. What could be the cause?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, it is suspected to be caused by regional inflammation. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a gynecological examination to identify the cause and then provide symptomatic treatment. According to the description, it may be a manifestation of eczema, which is inflammation of the epidermis and dermis caused by various internal and external factors. Please pay attention to hygiene, clean the affected area, avoid scratching, and you can try using hydrocortisone cream. If necessary, please consult a dermatologist at the hospital.
