How To Treat Vaginal Discomfort?
Yes. I'm having a little discomfort down in the vagina area. I have a couple soars and one of them seems to be bleeding. It's uncomfortable and itchy. It hurt if I touch it but walking around or using the bathroom doesn't hurt. Would you know what could be causing this? And its been like this for a bit.

Hi,
In order to understand what is causing the sores, we need more information - your age, personal life including about partner(s) and sexual practice. The history of itchiness suggests infection or allergic eruption. Have you ever had herpes infection? Is there a discharge from the sores.
To understand this fully, a gynecologist needs to have a look, assess with swabs, and understand if any products used locally could have caused these. I would advice paying extra attention to the hygiene in the local area. The sores should be kept clean and dry. Using Piriton 4 mg tablets three times a day can offer some relief from itching, while waiting to be seen by a gynecologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
