Can Passing Urine In Clothes Cause Infection?

okay, so yesterday i was returning home from a long trip and i lsightly urinated myself trying to wait as long as possible to stop and i had no change of clothes. so i had to continue my 2 and a half hour trip in these now "wet" clothes. this morning when i awoke i had a small rash underneath my vaginal lip (like towards the side) there was a slight infalation arounfd the sight but that was it. there was no rash or inflamation anywhere else. i am curious to know what this could be

Hi.

It can result in irritation, and yes possibly a rash or fungal infection not more. I would recommend keeping the region clean and dry at all times, and the use of clotrimazole cream over the region twice daily for 10 days, if required. Nothing more is required really.

Best wishes.
