Abstract

Background: Vulvar dermatoses are dermatological conditions affecting the vulva, characterized by 
symptoms such as redness, skin damage, open sores, thickening of the skin, itching, burning, and 
discomfort. Various factors increase the likelihood of barrier disruption in this area, leading to vulvar 
dermatosis. This study aimed to ascertain the prevalence of intimate hygiene habits and knowledge 
among a female population at a tertiary care hospital.
