Itching is one of the most common problems of the delicate skin.
Itching is painful.
The sensitive area is a mucous membrane and is covered by underwear, making it highly humid and prone to itching.
However, even if you feel itching when you are out and about, it is difficult to scratch the area, so you may have to endure it in many situations.
Many people have been suffering from this problem for a long time, and even if they do have to deal with it, they have to be more careful than with exposed parts such as arms and legs.
When it is caused by a rash
One of the most common causes of itching in the delicate area is due to a rash.
Generally, the rash is called contact dermatitis.
As the name suggests, inflammation occurs when the skin is irritated in some way, resulting in itching and minor soreness.
The skin is composed of three major layers: epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. Normally, the part of the skin that touches the outside, called the epidermis, protects the dermis and other parts of the skin from irritation.
However, when irritation is too great, the epidermis becomes inflamed.
There are numerous types of irritation, but in the case of women, it can be caused by sanitary napkins worn during menstruation.
During menstruation, the body is in a delicate state, and if the napkin rubs against the skin or becomes steamy, it can cause a rash, so it is necessary to be more careful than usual.
When infection is the cause
In addition to rashes, other causes of itching in the delicate area include infections.
The delicate skin and mucous membranes of the delicate zone have a slightly weaker barrier function than other parts of the body, making it easier for viruses and other agents that cause infections to invade the zone.
For example, if you come into contact with an infected person who has a sexually transmitted disease through sexual intercourse, you may contract the infection and feel itching as a symptom of the infection.
In the delicate zone, indigenous bacteria also play a role in preventing the invasion of such viruses, but this too is not perfect.
Daily care is necessary to prevent the activation of these viruses.
It is important to know the cause.
There is no single cause of itching in the delicate skin.
In order to cure itching, it is necessary to take measures and receive appropriate treatment according to the cause of the itching.
If it is a case of infection, persistent treatment will be necessary.
If you know the characteristics of each symptom and can assume the cause to some extent on your own, you will be able to deal with the symptoms quickly and heal them well when they appear.
