swollen and broken libia: Help!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Iam new to this board. Last time when cuddling too much with my SO my jeans rubbed me down there, and I found one lip of my libia (inner) swollen. and it was paining and I was very uncomfortable. next day the skin there broke and few drops of blood came. and pain was almost gone. after few days now I feel the swelling is coming a bit again and found a few drops of blood there today. Iam very scared. Will this lead to infection? I know I should avoid wearing panties few days, but I dont feel like when I coem to work.

note: we havent had intercourse or anything, only very mind oral he has given. and he avoided the swollen part then.

any one had similar problem? IS there any cream you can use for this to heal soon? It is not a major problem, but its slightly uncomfortable and I dont feel like cuddling anymore :-O ..lol..

Any quick replies are appreciated.

I dont want to see a doc for this, I know it is only skin broken due to friction.

Hi dancewithme2004, welcome!

What has worked well for me with this sort of problem is an aloe vera gel. You can get it at most pharmacies. It's soothing and provides a certain amount of lubricant. If I were you I'd keep the area clean and stay away from oral until you're feeling better. If it doesn't heal in a few days I'd call my doctor. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill

hi jill,

thanks. can I apply aloe vera jel there? I was scared to apply any thing there. Also, is there any thing that would heal such rashes or cuts inside libia or so? like mild medication that I can buy in stores . have you used any?

I do keep it clean and avoid any oral. In fact Iam not comfortable. I want to get okay with it soon.

thanks again.

I've used pure aloe vera gel, not sunscreen, down there (both inside and out) and found it very soothing. If you want something a bit stronger you might want to ask your pharmacist, she can probably recommend something. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,
