RAW skin in vagina lips....OUCH
Good morning sisters, I'm so fustrated this morning I woke up after many visits to the restroom. This time I decided to grab a mirror and look (sorry if so graphic). My inside of my vagina lips are so red I could see raw skin. By the way on on Ibuprofen and vicodin and CIPRO for UTI. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?
I have called the surgeons office and he's not on schedule my PCP isn't either so they left a message for the gynecology department to see if they can see me. How fustrating is this? I don't want to go back to the ER I waited almost three hours in the lobby to see a doctor and another hour for the doc to come into the room. They were so inconsiderate that I had just got out of surgery maybe a few hours earlier and I was still asked to have a seat in the lobby w/pain =-(.
Any suggestions please all are welcome.

Re: RAW skin in vagina lips....OUCH
I had this happen, too. I think going to the bathroom so frequently ended up with me irritating that sensitive skin by wiping so much.
I started "patting" myself dry instead of wiping, using a warm wash cloth occasionally to clean that area. I also switched to using a brand of wet wipe (unscented, sensitive formula) instead of dry toilet paper.
I also went without underwear when possible (just wore my nightgown around the house) to let everything just "air out".
I hear you on not wanting to go to the ER. Is there an urgent care walk in place you can go?

Re: RAW skin in vagina lips....OUCH
Hello,
Thank you for all the great suggestions. So went to see my DR and that raw flesh I saw was actually just that. He apologized and said that was caused by a Uterine Manipulator used and it nicked me (ouch) he perscribed Premarin an estrogen cream and also said to sit in a soapy bathtub to soothe the area ( I thought this was odd). It's been a week the skin doesn't look as raw any more but still bothersome.
