What Causes Redness And Swelling In The Inner Labia After Using Sex Toy?

Just bought a new sex toy and before using it I wiped it off with some wipes that didn t have bleach but were pretty harsh I rinsed and scrubbed the toy before I used it but after using it noticed my inner labia were very red and one is very swollen now. I rinsed myself off with lots of water what now?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Redness and swelling of inner labia what you are experiencing after using sex toy could be due to local reaction in the form of mechanical pressure or allergy to the materials used in the toy.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Wash the area with cold water and mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Following drying, apply Hydrocortisone skin cream over the lesions.
3. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day.
4. Apply moisturizer cream or lotion over the region at bedtime.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide good ventilation and to avoid friction.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Maintain good personal hygiene. The symptoms should heal gradually and should be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
