Question
A four-year-old child has been suffering from red and painful vulvar symptoms for more than three years, particularly when the weather is humid. Symptoms started around one year old, and the child has been treated at several hospitals. The previous treatment and outcomes are as follows: urine tests were normal, Southwest Hospital prescribed a Pai Rui Song ointment, and the pediatric hospital provided a cleaning solution. However, the symptoms continue to persist with the vulva being red but not swollen.
Answer
It is recommended to maintain good hygiene of the vulva by using dedicated bathware. Change diapers frequently to ensure the area remains dry. Clothes should be washed separately to avoid cross-contamination. Avoid consuming excessive spicy food and maintain a light diet. You can try using a purple grass oil preparation for topical application in the affected area. These are the suggestions for this issue, and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you health!
