What Causes Sore On Inner Labia Post Unprotected Sex?
It s been 3 months after unprotected sex and I noticed a sore on my inner labia. It feels akin to a paper cut and the first time I noticed it was while wearing tight jeans. I went to the bathroom a few hours later and after wiping and there was a tiny amount of blood. It s been 5 days and while there is no blood the are is still sore to touch or when it brushes against my pant seam. Any ideas? Is it an STD? I have a doctor s appointment but am curious

Hello,
Soreness and bleeding from inner labia is probably due to trauma caused by friction. I suggest wear loose inner garments and avoid avoid tight pants. The area should be kept dry to allow it to heal. The labial skin is expected to heal within few days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
