I was taking a shower and noticed when I washed my vaginal area, I felt a stinging pain almost as if I had a paper cut. I looked at it in the mirror and I don t visibly see anything but a tiny tiny piece of skin out of place. I put Vaseline on it because I thought I may have wiped to hard and the Vaseline initially itched but now it doesn t. Should I be worried or make a trip to the doc.
