A member asked:

Had sex last night and now my vagina lips are very sore and irratated, what should i do?

Cool bath: Irritation is common. A cool bath to soak the area, cool compresses after, only cotton underware, and a lubricant such as k-y jelly will help.

Yeast vs. friction: If there's itching and burning, Monistat on the outside may do the trick. If not, desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) ointment at bedtime may soothe.
