A member asked:

I had a yeast infection but i scratched my vaginal lip towards the bottom . what can i use to stop the irritation and swelling?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Keep dry and clean: Rinse with warm water after using bathroom and pat dry. Consider applying vaseline or diaper rash cream just to have a protective barrier. Wear loose fitting cotton clothing. Avoid any perfumed soaps or detergents.
