Suggest Treatment For Soreness In Vagina And Clitoris

Posted on Tue, 1 Sep 2015

Question: Hi, I thought what I had was an ingrown hair at the opening of my vagina. Within 3 days my whole vagina opening and clit have little sores on them. The whole vulva and opening is red. It is painful when I pee. They look like little circular lesions that are open. I have never had anything like this. I have been showering 4x a day and have tried micanazole, polysporin, lanacane, and turmeric applications. It isn't that comfortable to walk. I am very nervous I have herpes and I am going to make a doctor's appointment in the morning. Could it be possible that it is something else? Thank you for your time,
XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Most likely ingrown hair.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and pictures and in my opinion it is most likely an ingrown hair due to shaving.
But other causes should also be kept in mind if symptoms persist and not relieved by above mentioned treatment.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.
Regards
