What Causes Cut Between Labia Minora And Labia Majora?

Hi, I have this cut of maybe 3cm between labia minora and the labia majora. It is the first time I notice something like this. Is it possible that I got this cut while I was shaving ? Should I go see a doctor asap ? Or should I wait to see for a while ? Thank you !

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If the laceration is 3cm then it would be best to see your doctor as soon as possible for assessment.

If the laceration is not recent then it cannot be sutured but you may need antibiotic therapy to treat or prevent infection.

I hope this helps
