Why Do I Have Fissuring And Burning Urination?
Question: I have an infected labia. Very uncomfortable and when I look at it in a mirror, it looks like there are big cuts in it. There's a dreadful smell, it is incredibly sore and stings when I urinate. Wiping with toilet paper is seriously painful. It's infected on both sides. Has only been this way for three days but has become worse each day. I can go to a doctor but would like a bit of a heads up about what might be causing the problem?
