Embarrassing question, and my GYN is not available until Tuesday.

I have this severe cut right at the tip of my labia (above the clit).  It hurts really bad, I can barely run water down without squealing from the pain.  Even wiping myself when I pee hurts.  I have thought of many possibilities of how I could of gotten cut this way, but the hard part is trying to figure out how to let it heel.  I have had it for about 3 days now, and it is not healing.  The worst part is that my doctor won?t be in until Tuesday.  Has anyone been through this or have an idea of what I can do?
 
TIA.

Re: Embarrassing question, and my GYN is not available until Tuesday.

  • I had one around the same area before.  I knew how I did it.  It was about 10 years ago, but I do remember my gyn having me put neosporin on it twice a day and she gave me antibiotics.

  •     Try tooth ache  numbing cream and watch out for infection.

        I'm trying to not imagine how the injury occurred. .

  • Keep the area clean and dry, wear cotton undies and use a sitz bath when you need to void. This way, you won't feel any burning when you pee.

    Drugstores sell them.

  • You could have nicked it with a finger nail.  Your hubby could have slightly bitten it during oral sex.  A seem in your pants could have been centered right on the area and with a lot of movement, it could have worn a raw spot?  MAybe?

     Maybe try the neosporine but instead of wearing cotton panties, don't wear any.  Wear a loose skirt without any panties.  That way nothing would be against your sore spot and allow it to scab over and heal.  Reapply the neo after every bathroom break.

    Just a thought.

    I'll try anything once. Yes, anything, well almost!! :)
  • I will try the neosporin, I just for some reason assumed since it was so close to the clit that the ointment would irritate it more. 

    I appreciate your responses, I hope I can get this taken care of quickly.

  • I've had this happen to me before. I got cut from rough sex (TMI), it hurt when I peed, I continuously put neosporin on it, and it really helped. Try that for the next few days until your Dr. gets in.

  • Feeling better? Hope so. 

    The neo shouldn't irritate your clit any.  It'll just feel a little lubricated while you are using it!!

  • Okay i had the exact same problem! What happened was before i got pregnant i thought i was starting my period and i became extremely dry down there, so much that a little cut happened in the same spot as yours, it was because it was too dry and i guess when i wiped or cleaned my self taking a shower that the skin ripped a little. All i did was get some baby cream and put it right there for a couple days and it went away.
  • go get baby wipes and wipe with those, i havent had one on the top but i cracked my lip once going inside *ouch* and thats what my doc told me to do, it keeps it clean and its gentle

  • as someone with a genital piercing in nearly the same area i would recommend buying a bottle of H2Ocean at your local spencers or piercing parlor and wearing cotton panties and breathable clothing. the tissue in that area will heal very quickly if you treat it right
  • You need an antifungal and steroid cream.
