How Long Do The Cuts On The Labia Minora Take To Heal?
Hi, I have a small cut on my inner labia minora. My doctor said it was just a cut and it won t take long to heal. It has been 6 days and it s still burning/itching in that area. I have also started my period, which makes the burning worse. How long do those cuts take to heal? I also have a burning sensation when peeing. Thank you!

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. If you keep the cut clean then it will heal faster. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area and instead you can use saline or warm water. Pouring warm water while urination decreases the burning sensation. You can apply Betadine ointment on cuts and use a gauze pad above it before wearing underwear. Then it will heal within 1 week.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
