Acute vulvitis generally presents with symptoms such as itching, pain, burning sensation, and may also include skin breakdown and small papules on the vulva. Vulvitis is a relatively common gynecological inflammation, primarily caused by bacterial infection. Treatment for vulvitis focuses on maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the vulvar area. Patients can use potassium permanganate sitz baths or apply antibiotic ointments such as erythromycin ointment to help reduce inflammation.
