Vulval skin conditions impact the external female genitalia. These issues can be both physically uncomfortable and emotionally distressing.
Our goal is to help manage and treat various vulval skin conditions. If you have any concerns or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Vulval dermatoses refer to a range of disorders that affect the area around the vaginal opening, including the inner and outer labia (labia majora and minora) and the clitoris.
These conditions can cause symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, pain, and abnormal discharge.
It is essential to seek medical advice if you experience any persistent symptoms, as early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications.
Treatment options vary depending on the specific condition and may include topical treatments, such as creams, ointments, and lotions, to soothe the skin and reduce inflammation.
For more severe symptoms or underlying conditions, oral medications like pills or tablets might be prescribed.
Lifestyle adjustments, including changes in hygiene practices, dietary modifications, and avoiding known irritants, can also be beneficial.
Additionally, regular monitoring through ongoing assessments helps manage chronic conditions effectively.
Preventing vulval skin conditions can be achieved with a few lifestyle changes. Here are some helpful tips:
Use our online booking engine or book your test by giving us a call.
On the online booking engine select the “appointment type” you need.
You will be seen by one of our friendly doctors or trained clinicians.
Track symptoms such as itching, burning, or any changes in the vulval skin. Note the frequency, duration, and any potential triggers. Refrain from using scented products, harsh soaps, or other potential irritants in the area before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing.
Discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any relevant lifestyle factors with your healthcare provider. A physical examination may be conducted to assess the condition of the vulval skin. This may involve a visual inspection and, if necessary, a swab or biopsy for further testing
Your healthcare provider will diagnose the condition based on your symptoms and examination results. Common conditions might include vulval dermatitis, lichen sclerosus, or vulvovaginal candidiasis. Discuss potential treatment options with them, which may include topical treatments, lifestyle modifications, or further investigations.
