What Causes Pain And Swelling In Labia Minora And Clitoris?
I had a yeast infection from the antibiotic I was taking. I used otc meds, and I think the yeast infection is gone, but my labia minors/ clitoral hood are swollen rec and very painful to the touch. When I look with a mirror, it almost looks like maybe there could be an ingrown hair. Is that possible? Or what else could it be?

Hello,
It could be due to local inflammation.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
You can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
