      1. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, change menstrual pads frequently during menstruation, and wash them frequently.

      2. Keep the vulva clean and dry. Do not wash it with hot water or scrub it with soap.

      3. Avoid indiscriminate use or abuse of drugs, scratching and local friction.

      4. Avoid alcohol, spicy food, seafood, and drugs that may cause allergies.

      5. Do not wear tight-fitting crotch pants. Underwear must be loose, breathable, and made of cotton.

      6. If there is damage or infection in the local area, you can use 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution (add a trace amount of potassium permanganate powder to warm boiled water to make it light red, not too thick), twice a day, for 20 to 30 minutes each time.

      7. See a doctor to check whether there is mold or trichomonas. If so, treat it in time instead of applying "anti-itching water" yourself.

      8. Those who cannot be cured after long-term treatment should have their blood sugar checked.
