Can Polysporin Be Used On The Sore Labia?
Hi, I need your opinion on a problem. I wore a tight girdle and panty-liner all day. Now i notice i feel sore down there and it burns when i pee. It s almost like there is a sore on my labia, feels like chaffing. My question is, can i use polysporin down there?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to contact dermatitis, friction injury due to tight panty liner.
Take following advises:
Take warm water sitz bath with added betadine will help in healing.
Apply vagisil cream
Polysporin can be used to prevent the infection
Wear pure cotton loose inner and keep the area clean and dry
Wash vagina with warm water and then apply apple cidar vinegar
Drink plenty of water and take healthy diet
Hope this may help you
