Abstract

A double blind study is described in which 17 patients with intractable pruritus vulvae were treated by multiple intradermal injections of absolute alcohol. In each patient half the vulva was treated with alcohol whilst the other half was injected with water. Treatment with alcohol was significantly better than treatment with water (p less than 0.001).
