Swollen Outer Vaginal Lip, Itching, Dark Brown Discharge
I have a swollen outer right vaginal lip and its red and so it the are around it, as well as some itching. I think i might have some dark brown discharge, but i also just got off my period the night before so it could just be that. Whatever it is it developed overnight, and im also a virgin so it's not an std. I'm worried it might be serious but its embarrassing and i dont want to tell me mom so I'm hoping its just irritation that will go away on its own but I'm not sure.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Use sanitary pads during yours periods time.
