A member asked:
Is it okay to put neosporin between your vagina lips a little close to the hole? i have a cut/friction burn. it's been a couple days n hasn't healed.

Use hydrocortisone: Some brands of neosporin are oil based and are likely to keep bacteria trapped in this sensitive area. Use over the counter Hydrocortisone on the skin portion of the labia only.

Natural Healing: The good news is that area has fantastic blood supply and so healing will occur rapidly. Inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling) is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Dressings and ointments are of no value there. Avoid further trauma to the area and let nature take it's course.
