Underneath here refers to the vulva. Vulvar itching in pregnancy may be related to poor hygiene, vulvovaginal inflammation, vulvar eczema and other factors, which can be dealt with by keeping the area clean and applying topical medication.
During pregnancy, due to the elevated hormone levels in the body, resulting in increased vaginal secretions, if you do not pay attention to vulvar hygiene, the skin will be stimulated by secretions, resulting in vulvar itching. Paying attention to keeping the vulva clean and changing underwear frequently will relieve the symptoms.
Vulvovaginitis and vulvar eczema during pregnancy can also cause localized vulvar itching. It can be treated with topical medications. Such as: non-specific vulvar itch using erythromycin ointment, clindamycin ointment for local application; trichomonas vaginitis using metronidazole suppositories vaginal placement; pseudo-saccharomyces vaginitis using clotrimazole suppositories vaginal placement.
For localized itching caused by vulvar eczema, you can use proprietary lotions for cleaning, such as: bitter ginseng lotion, cypress lotion and so on. If the itching is obvious, you can also use topical glycerin lotion to stop itching.
The above drugs should be used under the guidance of clinicians to avoid adverse reactions.
