Symptoms of external vaginal dermatophytosis mainly include vulvar itching, flaking, thickening of skin with poor elasticity, and accompanying symptoms, etc. External vaginal dermatophytosis mainly refers to vulvar dermatophytosis caused by vulvar fungal infections, which is contagious to a certain extent.
1. Vulvar itching: external vaginal dermatophytosis is caused by fungal infection stimulating the vulva leading to vulvar itching and worsening of symptoms at night, often due to scratching resulting in localized skin with scratches, redness, and even ulceration.
2. Flaking: If external dermatophytosis of the vagina is not treated timely and effectively, it may also lead to dryness of the vulvar skin, flaking and folds of the vulvar skin.
3. Skin thickening and poor elasticity: long-term chronic inflammation stimulates scratching, resulting in the formation of crusts, thickening and poor elasticity of the vulvar skin.
4. Accompanying symptoms: external vaginal dermatophytosis may also be accompanied by ringworm-like changes in the skin of the groin on both sides, resulting in itching and flaking in the groin area.
Tinea versicolor needs to be treated under the guidance of a doctor, avoiding self-medication to avoid adverse reactions.
