What Causes Red Sores On Labia Minora?
Hello, my concern is that I have red scratch like sores on my lower labia minora. There is a tiny bit of bleeding from these sores. There is no discharge or bumps, just the "open" sores. I don't feel any actual itching, only irritation in that area when I wipe after urinating & when I wash the area as well. The only thing that seems to alleviate the irritation is cream for vaginal itch. Please help me, I need to know what it is that I might have. Thank you.

Hi thanks for asking question in health care magic.
Here are few possibility in your case.
First there might be infection condition to labia along with vulva involvement.
Antibiotic needed for treating it.
Second you might have allergy to particular soap or cloth.So for few day it is better to wear light loose cotton cloth.
If associated foul smell vaginal discharge complaint possibilities of bacterial vaginosis is there.
And if have eczema to other place then possibility of contact dermatitis has to be ruled out also.
Here no other symptoms present like itching , so chances of fungal infection are less.
Apart from that mostly you have no other cause.
