If the wound is caused by trauma and the vulva is torn, you can consider using povidone iodine solution to disinfect the wound locally. For women with small wounds, no medication can be used because natural healing will occur quickly. If the wound is large and natural healing is difficult, it will need to be closed with silk sutures after disinfection. If the woman is suffering from vulvodynia resulting in a small localized fissure in the vulva, consider treating it with erythromycin ointment for topical application, while making sure to keep the vulva clean and dry. If the woman is suffering from a local ulcer on the vulva due to herpes virus infection, which is not a real wound, you can apply acyclovir ointment.
