After scratching, there is a lot of exudation, erosion and scab, and the underwear is often soaked. The tongue is red, the fur is yellow and greasy, and the pulse is stringy and smooth. This is because the evil of dampness and heat is injected into the vagina along the meridian. The treatment should clear away heat and dehumidify.

The treatment is suitable for nourishing yin, nourishing blood and moistening dryness. The commonly used prescription is angelica decoction plus or minus: angelica sinensis 10g cooked ground 20g white peony 10g ligusticum chuanxiong 10g black ginseng 10g wattle mustard 10g fangfeng 10g white fresh skin 30g white tribulus terrestris 10g raw liquorice 6g.
