Why is my labia swollen, itchy, and flaking?
Patient's Query
Hey, recently i had long nails, i was showering and i accidentaly ran my nail through my labias fast and it scratched them pretty bad, i couldnt see any open wounds but it was bleeding, i was cleaning it with water everytime .... after some time my labias started drying out like right now. Theyre flaking and my labias are swollen and itchy , I started putting creams but i dont know if its working, i went to take a shower again, i cleaned my whole vagina untill i put one finger in my vagina and i scooped some white thick seperated parts of discharge, it did have a smell, like metal, or blood. Please help me i dont know what to do
Answered by Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
You may have suffered trauma to your labia. The scratches and bleeding can make the situation worse by causing dryness and irritation which will result in swelling and itching. The white discharge having a metallic smell might suggest that you have an infection. It's vital to refrain from using creams if you don't know the cause. Gently washing with water and wearing loose clothes can help. Proper diagnosis and treatment should be the first step you consider seeing a gynecologist for.
