I used a cinnamon lube during intercourse about Last week. After that i was feeling uncomfortable and then now my vagina has been starting to get itchy. I belive it was the lube beause ive never used that. I know i shouldnt it but i scratched my vagina and now my labia minoras are super swollen. I need for it to be gone asap. Please help

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely allergy from the cinnamon lube you used.But it is better to show a gynecologist an confirm it as other conditions like a yeast infection can give such a picture.For allergic reactions in my patients i treat with Corticosteroid ointments like hydrocortisone for local application and antihistamines like levocetirizine tablet for oral intake for 5 days.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further queries.
