A member asked:

One side of my clitoral hood is swollen, red, and itchy. i think it may have come from a scratch, but it hasn't healed and it has been almost a week.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have it examined: A cut or "scratch" that has not healed in a sensitive location like the clitoris bears examination by a GYN MD to determine the non healing status and why the area is swollen and possibly infected.
