What Do You Suggest For A Swollen Area Around The Vagina After Scratching It?

I scratched my outer vaginal lip, close to the vagina opening and it started to swell a couple seconds later but it doesn't burn and there is no discharge or anything. I had this two months ago and it was diagnosed as BV and idk if I have it again or something worse also I noticed I always get this right after I sleep with my boyfriend bc the first time I got it was right after we had sex and this it's the same things

Hi,
Thanks for writing.

It can be due to an infection in the region. Both you and your boyfriend should get treated for BV together and avoid sex until the treatment is done.
