Suggest Treatment For Cracked Skin In Vaginal Area

I m not sure how to word this. I have cracked skin in my vaginal area, like a paper cut. Its not in the actual vagina but rather at the tip of the V pointing towards my stomach (the outside skin). Is there anything I can do to help this heal? It keeps reopening, its very small, but burns. Is there any cream I can put on it to help it heal, or maybe vaseline?

`Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I have read your question fully and understand your concerns.

The small cut in your vulval/genital area skin will heal. You could use Sudocrem, you can apply it 3-4 times times/day, and you can use it for a few weeks. Alternatively, you can use a mild steroid cream like 1 % Hydrocortisone cream; apply it twice a day for 1 week. Use only a very small amount of steroid cream.

Avoid using any harsh soaps or soap products down below. Avoid wearing tight inner garments or trousers or rough inner garments. Wear cotton inner garments so that the genital area is not sweaty.

I hope this answer has helped you.

Thank you
Regards
