Background: Vulvar dermatosis are chronic skin disorders that affect vulva, appearing variably in the patients. Perceptions about reproductive healthcare differ significantly across the globe. Feminine hygiene practices vary among women with high prevalence of inaccurate behaviors that predispose them to vulvar dermatosis. Aims and objectives: To assess the level of public awareness about the subject and subsequent need for educational interventions to optimize female genital hygiene practices. Material and methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted at Outpatient department of Department of Dermatology in Amaltas institute of medical sciences and associated hospital, Dewas (M.P.) between January 2020 to December 2021 including female patients of 16 to 65 years of age group who attended outpatient department and given consent, excluding Illiterate and follow up patients. Result: Cleansing of the external intimate area is more common in Group B patients with once daily frequency with clean water, whereas Group A washes twice weekly. Vaginal douching was common for 23.1% of Group A and 4.6% of Group B. The use of wet wipes for intimate cleaning was reported 11.85 % and 32.6 % in Group A patients and group B patients respectively. The awareness and habituation of both groups regarding genital hygiene practices is different. Discussion: Vulva is first line of defense against genital tract infections, so, intimate hygiene is desirable for overall good health in women. However, in Indian scenario, it is not practiced widely due to various sociocultural reasons. Thus, it is very important to educate women about intimate hygiene.
