I had a mild yeast infection and when it was ending, I accidentally scratched my labia and it also bled a little bit. After that, my labia ended up becoming swollen (labia is the lips of the vagina. In my case it was at the bottom not near the clit).

Obviously when I had this scratch, that area kind of burned when I peed or wiped. I had to be delicate in that area. After two days, I thought the swollen went away because there were no more burns. I had sexual intercourse. It only was quick and it was fully lubricated. After we finished, it actually burned a bit so the swollen was still there.

Today is the third day I had the swollen. I checked in the mirror for the first time to see how it looks like and the only swollen area is where the scratch was so I know that nothing is being spread or idk.

Now I’m feeling insecure about having sex with my boyfriend. We’re going on a holiday for a week in two days and I really want the swollen to go away.

Does anyone know what might help the swollen to ease or help it?

No mean or unnecessary comments.
