Getting Dry Skin On Left Side Of Labia Minora After Periods. Dry Skin Cracks, Bleeds
After my period every month dry skin develops on the left side of my labia minora, which is also the side that is larger. The dry skin often cracks and bleeds, which sometimes makes my minora stick to my underwear. When the dry skin goes away I get this itching but pinching feeling on it, mostly when my legs are together. I do not have any stds or stis to my knowledge, boyfriend is 100% sure that he does not as well. What can I do to allieviate this discomfort and prevent it from happening? It's actually getting so annoying that I am considering labiaplasty in the future.
