Itchy skin in the pubic area and underarms

The genitals and armpits are two of the more private and hidden parts of the body. In fact, generally speaking, many people do not feel that these two parts will become itchy, so once it itches, it means that there is a problem with a certain function of the body. The cause of genital itching is generally due to gynecological inflammation, bacterial growth or allergies. The main cause of armpit itching is eczema. In fact, many times the moisture in the armpits is not completely cleaned, and the sweat glands are very active, so eczema is easy to breed.

Vulvar pruritus

reason

1. Disease

Diseases that can cause vulvar itching symptoms, such as: vulvitis, vulvar epithelial hyperplasia, vulvar lichen sclerosus, trichomoniasis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginitis in young girls, vaginitis in the elderly, sexually transmitted diseases, pinworms, scabies and pubic lice, etc.

2. Others

Drug allergy or chemical stimulation, such as soap, condoms, sanitary napkins, bad hygiene habits, etc., may cause vulvar itching.

Clinical manifestations

1. Vulvitis

It often occurs on the inner and outer sides of the labia minora or the labia majora. In severe cases, it can affect the entire vulva. Patients often complain of itching, pain, and burning sensation in the vulva, which worsens during activity, urination, or sexual intercourse. Physical examination revealed local congestion and swelling. There are often scratches, and there may be eczema or ulcers. In patients with chronic inflammation, the skin or mucous membranes become thickened, rough, and may become cracked.

2. Vulvar epithelial cell hyperplasia

Vulvar itching is a characteristic symptom, which is often unbearable, and the more it itches, the more you scratch.

3. Vulvar lichen sclerosus

The main symptoms are itching in the lesion area, pain during sexual intercourse and burning sensation in the vulva, which are milder than those in patients with vulvar squamous hyperplasia. Dyspareunia may occur in the late stage. The itching symptoms in young girls are usually not obvious, and they may feel discomfort in the vulva or perianal area after urination or defecation.

Itching in the armpits

Since the sweat glands under the armpits are more developed, if there is a lot of hair under the armpits, it is recommended to shave the hair under the armpits. In order to avoid infection, do not shave when the eczema is more severe. You can develop the habit of shaving at ordinary times or shave when the symptoms are relatively mild. Generally, this type of eczema caused by the body's allergic reaction is difficult to cure, so long-term prevention work is necessary.

When axillary eczema occurs, it may be very itchy. It is recommended not to use hot water or soap to wash at this time. You can use warm water to wash the area, wipe dry the water with a soft towel, and then apply prickly heat powder, which can help relieve itching. The premise is that it is best to shave the armpit hair clean.

If a child has eczema under his armpits, you can try applying some sesame oil under his armpits, which can relieve the symptoms of eczema, but be careful not to let the eczema area get infected. Also, observe the child's reaction. If he feels uncomfortable, go to the hospital for treatment.
