Abstract:

We described the case of an 84-year-old woman with type II diabetes mellitus and chronic vulvitis. At the first check-up, the woman presented a fairly severe form of chronic vulvitis with candida superinfection, associated with severe alteration of the external genitalia as well as extremely limiting symptoms. The patient was treated with local therapy with vitamin E - based ointments and hyaluronic acid creams, cortisone and local antifungal therapy was then started and the boric acid tablets were interrupted, maintaining the evening sitz baths with boric water at 3%. The woman returned to control after 3 and 6 weeks, presenting a significant improvement in the local state and in the symptomatic sequence she reported.
