Cause For Swelling In The Labia Major After Having Sex

After having sex today I noticed that only one side of my libia major is super swollen (almost three times as big as the other side, has baby cuts along it, is super dry, hard, and burning. Earlier today before having sex I shaved then noticed that my outer libia was itchy and irritated. I didn't really think anything of it because it usually happens after shaving. Then after sex I noticed how swollen it was, and how it hung a lot further past the other side. What could be the cause of this?! Should I put 1% hydrocortisone on it? Help!

Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

The cause of swollen labia may be allergic reaction to the shaving cream used by you. The other possibility is there infection started even before you shaved it.

In my view It is better to use anti histamine drug in compare to hydrocortisone you if it is allergic reaction.
If you do not get relief with it seek consultation with your physician.
