Vulvitis is inflammation of the vulva and may be caused by:
primary or allergic contact irritations;
vaginal discharge due to infections (candidiasis, trichomoniasis etc.); vaginal discharge due non-infectious conditions (foreign bodies in the vagina, neoplasms of the genital tract);
primary dermatological conditions e.g. seborrhoeic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis.
The clinical features depend on the aetiology but pruritis, discomfort, erythema and oedema are typical features. Management depends on the cause.
