Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to violent sexual activity or due to allergic reaction from condoms. Cuts during sexual activity also can cause this. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area. You can use warm water or saline for washing. Other possibility is fungal infection. Using ointments containing anti fungal agents like miconazole and corticosteroid like hydrocortisone will be helpful for this. You can also use intimate wash daily to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
