Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Open wound around the vaginal area what you are having needs to be taken care in the following way.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. After drying, apply Cream containing Fusidic acid.
3. Wear loose fitting undergarments, preferably made of cotton, to avoid friction in the area.
4. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesion heals completely.
Keep the wound clean and dry, so that it would heal quickly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Best wishes,
Regards​,
Dr. Ashakiran.S.,
MBBS., MD.
