Seborrheic Vulvitis Q & A

What is Seborrheic Vulvitis?
Also known as vulvovaginitis or Seborrheic Dermatitis, Seborrheic Vulvitis is a condition that tends to affect the external female genitalia/vulva and is not considered harmful. It is mostly caused by a yeast micro-organism known as Malassezia globose. What’s more, the complication in the discussion is quite common in women and is treatable.
How Dr. Brooks will Diagnose your Condition
As previously mentioned, Dr. Brooks has garnered years-worth of experience in dealing with vulvovaginal conditions. Often, all it takes is an office visit to receive a diagnosis.
How do I know if I have Seborrheic Vulvitis?
It is worth noting that Seborrheic Vulvitis typically affects the outer skin layer in areas close to the hair follicle. However, this does not imply that it cannot spread to the inner skin, as this is possible.

The most common symptom of Seborrheic Vulvitis is itching of the vulva. However, other symptoms are used to identify the condition since itching is familiar to many infections. They include;

$

Vaginal Discharge

$

Dry skin in the vaginal area

$

Sores and blisters around the vaginal area

$

Scaly skin around the vaginal area

$

Burning sensations around the vulva area

$

Swelling and redness of vaginal lips

Since Seborrheic Vulvitis is caused by a yeast organism (though it is not a “yeast infection”), Dr. Brooks will prescribe a series of effective treatments to get rid of the fungus. He will also treat any conditions that may affect your vaginal areas, such as scaly skin, sores, and blisters.

Do not suffer from Seborrheic Vulvitis in silence. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Brooks of Arizona Specialized Gynecology today and have your condition duly treated.
