What Causes Tiny Wound On Clitoris?
Question: After walking up and down the whole day yesterday without any pain or anything unusual, while in the bathroom at 8.30pm I noticed something unusual on my clit. And when I looked closer it was a tiny wound that was not painful. However, it's a little irritating when my skin rubs onto. What could that be and how can I treat it?
Brief Answer:
wound?
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
If what you see is just a wound, like a cut, and not anything like a pustule or blister, then it may have occurred during intercourse or due to vaginal dryness. Its nothing to worry about. Apply an antibacterial ointment so that it doesnt get infected. Keep it moist as dryness can cause discomfort. And avoid intercourse till its healed. However, if it bleeds/discahrges pus , get examined asap.
