    Related Topics
    Vulval Conditions Women's Health
    Dermatitis is the most common cause of chronic vulval symptoms. The main initial symptom of dermatitis is itching. Scratching the area can result in broken skin, burning of stinging and pain during sex. Treatment for dermatitis usually involves the use of a weak topical corticosteroid cream. Cool compresses and antihistamines may be used to bring relief form symptoms. If the dermatitis is thought to be due to an allergy or irritant, it is important that attempts are made to identify the source.
