A member asked:
I scratched my inner labia and now its red and swollen. it seems as if the swelling is going down but i have never gotten swollen like this before?

Bad news, good news: The bad news is that you scratched the area and it swelled in response. The good news is that the swelling appears to be going down and infection does not appear likely at this point. If the swelling continues, see a GYN MD immediately.
