A member asked:

My boyfriend and i had sex and used saliva as a lubricant. it's been a few days and my inner labia is sore and swollen should i get it checked out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: There bay be an abrasion on the labia that needs Rx. Next time use a water soluble lubricant like K-Y or Maxilube.
