Suggest Treatment For Tear Near Labia After Falling
I fell on the back end of a chair with my legs split. I split the skin on my labia quite deep and 4 inches long. I have been to the ER and they suggested not to stich due to the bruising and pain it would cause. I feel it is getting infected now. How will I know if I should go back to see a physician
Hi, As stitches are not taken then there are all chances of getting wound infected creating a problem. You require proper cleaning and dressing of wound by doctor only regularly. Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days. If there is delayed healing there might be having irregular scar producing problem. Maintain local hygiene proper. Ok and take care.
