What Causes Painful And Itchy Skin Cuts On The Vagina?
Two days ago I accidentally cut my inner vagina on the left side where it starts and now have more medium sized circle white cuts. One is almost scabbed over but the others are white but not discharging anything. They are itchy, painful, and look like they are trying to heal. I have never been sexually active before. Could this be caused by friction from walking or an infection?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I have read your description and understand your concern. What problems you are encountering with itchy skin cuts on the vaginal region could be an inflammation of the skin and tissue underneath it. Kindly do the following to overcome it. 1. Wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily. 2. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day to control itching. 3. Apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over clitoris twice daily after drying. 4. Use pH balancing solution like 'V Wash' regularly. 4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to avoid friction in the area. 5. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely. Maintain good personal hygiene. The lesion should subside gradually. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
