The labia minora(two sides of the opening) are swollen and is dark brown in colour. During pee. During urination I get burning feeling in the labia minora and the labia majora region starting from the origin of the pee. Moreover the labia minora are completly dried up and to avoid this I have applied petroleum gelly in it.
