Suggest Treatment For Painful Sore On Labia Minora
Hello, I have somthing that looks exactly like a canker sore of the mouth except it s in my libia minora.. I m scared to death because if it s an std I ve never had sex and I don t want my parents thinking I have. Are there any home remedies for this? Will it just clear out eventually? It s only one on my inside libia minora and it s like a white sore, not bubbly or anything looks exactly like a canker sore in the mouth just in a different part could that be possible?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I have read your description and understand your concern. Lesions like canker sores would have been caused due to superficial skin infection. These lesions can be treated by taking the following measures: 1. Kindly wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Povidine thrice daily. 2. After drying, apply Neomycin in combination with Hydrocortisone cream. 3. Since you are stating that it is painful, along with it you need to take anti-inflammatory-analgesic medication like Ibuprofen. Maintain good genital hygiene. Wear loose fitting undergarments until the lesions heal completely. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
