Had Delivery Vaginally And C Section, Labia Majora Has Redness. Complications Postpartum?
Hello, i just had twins, first started vaginally then went to c-section. Now after being home for 1 month, i noticed last night my labia majora is major red, burns, and some blister type. I started taking benedryl, should i be concerned do to having a c-section that there's more complications or is this normal after postpartum?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The redness on the labia is likely to be due to vulvovaginitis. It is suggestive of an allergic or an infective cause. A direct examination is needed for proper diagnosis. Systemic antibiotics may be needed to control the infection.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
