Molle’s Ulcer: Therapy

General measures

  • Partner management, i.e., infected partners, if any, must be located and treated (contacts must be traced for 10 days)
  • Observance of general hygiene measures!
  • Genital hygiene
    • Once a day, the genital area should be washed with a pH neutral care product. Washing several times a day with soap, intimate lotion or disinfectant destroys the natural acid mantle of the skin. Pure water dries out the skin, frequent washing irritates the skin.
    • It is recommended to use disposable washcloths.
    • Showering is better than bathing (softening the skin).
    • Drying the skin dabbing with a soft absorbent towel or a cool hair dryer held far away.
    • Putting on underwear only when the skin is absolutely dry.
    • Underwear should be changed daily and be breathable (cotton materials).
    • Synthetic materials impermeable to air create an ideal breeding ground for pathogens.
  • Nicotine restriction (refrain from tobacco use).
  • Alcohol restriction (abstaining from alcohol)
