Suggest Remedy For Sore, Burning Open Skin On Labia Due To Scratching
I was getting ready for a bath and felt an itch come up on the top of my labia, kind of at the top of one of the folds. (Hope that made sense) anyway without thinking, I scratched and it was too hard so I broke the skin. Now it seems like there s a sore there, burns when touched and seems to be healing, but slowly. I ve used hydrocortisone, any other suggestions?

Hi,
If there is no itching, use antibiotic with steroid cream (Soframycin D) over the counter. Keep the part clean and dry before you apply ointment after each wash.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
