Generally, you can't use alcohol to wash your vulva. Because the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva are relatively weak, if you use alcohol to scrub, it is easy to cause vulva tingling, and even vulva ulcers. Under normal circumstances, if there is vulvitis or vaginal inflammation, you can send the corresponding lotion to wash or scrub. However, it is not recommended to use alcohol to scrub the vulva. In addition, if there is vaginal discomfort, vaginal secretions can be tested. It has been determined which vaginal inflammation is and given the corresponding drug vaginal tamponade, or oral medication. For example, if there is vaginal candida infection, it is normal to give Comet acid, vaginal tamponade or sodium bicarbonate lotion to clean the vulva.
