What Do Skin Cuts On Vagina Indicate?

Hi, I have what I believe to be several small cuts on my labia that have now become small bumps (they didn t start out that way) I believe they came about after shaving. I was itchy down there earlier in the week and I couldn t help from scratching especially in my sleep. I ve tried vagisal creams to help with the discomfort and itching but they aren t doing much as I believe the itch and discomfort is coming from the cuts. I suppose my question is are these little bumps cuts or in grown hairs? If so how can I help the healing process

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to irritation from shaving or fungal infection. In such case ointments with combination of antifungal like miconazole, anti bacterial like neomycin and corticosteroid like beclamethasone for local application will be helpful. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area and instead you can use saline or warm water. Using intimate wash also is good.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
