Suggest Remedy For Painful Rash From Rubbing Inner Vulva And Vagina Lip
I have this what it looks like to be a rash from friction or rubbing on my inner vulva between the vulva and left vagina lip, in the crease of where my vagina lip starts. It s very painful, and hard to get to go away because I m constantly wet there due to being pregnant and having a higher discharge and sweating, I ve been putting baby powder in the crease but it s still very uncomfortable.. I need somthing that will quickly take care of the pain and help get rid of it being that where the friction burn is, is in such a difficult place to heal... please help,

Hello,
Painful rash in the vulva and vagina when pregnant commonly occurs because of yeast infection due to hormonal changes that disrupt pH of the vagina. It may cause itching and thick discharge, do not touch or scratch. Touching and scratching may cause swelling and pain. Stay at rest, take care of the genital hygiene. Wear loose fitting cotton clothes. You can apply a thin layer of Soframycin ointment on the area affected. Be cautious. Do not put it in the vagina. Avoid sex.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
