Fissures Coming From Hair Line To Labia Minora, Hurt On Wiping. What Is Causing This?
I seem to have lines which may be fissures coming from hair line down to labia minora about 1/2 inch or less apart. Last week it hurt when wiping and thought maybe I had an ingrown hair . But, I found out last night it was as described above. Do I call my gyn? Is there an ointment I should be using? What is this? And what causes it?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
This is likely to be due to vulvovaginitis or folliculitis in the area. Proper hygiene and oral antibiotics are needed for proper treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
