Burning Sensation With Dryness On Labia Majora. Had Yeast Infection. Treated With Metronidazole. Am Overweight

Thanks XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
The raw pain and the bleeding from the vaginal lips is commonly encountered in two conditions.
One is The Candidiasis (yeast)- persistent infection can cause this rubbing and hence bleeding and raw feeling. This condition can be easily treated with oral antifungals like Fluconazole.
The other possibility for such a problem is low estrogen levels leading to dryness in the vagina, which stimulate the vaginal mucosa, and causes rubbing.
For the time being, please use ice packs, soothing gels like aloe vera and if itching is a problem, you can use Vagisil anti itch cream
Also, avoid abrasion and friction, excessive washing or rubbing of the affected area.
Take a mild painkiller orally and you may also apply a mild antiseptic ointment like Neosporin for relief.
Do change your cotton underwear twice daily.
You can consult your gynecologist for stronger prescription medicines and oral antibiotics for proper treatment.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
