What Do I Do About A Flat Open Wound On The Labia Apart From Milky White Discharge?

Hello I have a flat open wound on my labia majora ?( inner flaps) it’s only on one side shape of a lightning strike no bumps . Burns when I pee and the urine touches it . Other than that no pain . Milky white discharge . On day 3 of antivirals they think it’s genital herpes but no test results yet and it’s driving me crazy . I think it’s similar to yeast diaper rash or thrush . Any ideas ?

Hello,

It is indicative of infection that is causing discharge of serum and pus. Get tested to detect STI, if herpes is detected you will be treated with antivirals / antibiotics. Take care of your hygiene, take bath regularly and use antibacterial soap to clean your private area. Avoid using scented or perfumed body products. Taking sitz bath may be helpful.

To prevent itching, you can apply ointment hydrocortisone on the affected area. Taking analgesics helps to relieve pain. Avoid having sex or any sexual activity. Get treated at the earliest, neglect and left untreated will cause infertility, PID, scarring of the reproductive organs.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
