Suggest Remedy For Swollen Labia Minor With Smegma

For the last few days I've had a problem with swelling in my labia minor, and it's sore and a little red. There's no irregular discharge. It doesn't really itch constantly, just every now and then like normal, but it hurts to scratch. If I do scratch it quickly becomes irritated and burns a little (probably because it's raw). There's also a good deal of smegma, despite my attempts at washing every day. What's wrong with me, and how can I fix it?

hello
Thanks for query .
Swelling of the labia minora with redness and itching strongly suggest infection of Vagina .

It could be either a bacterial infection or fungal infection and has to be confirmed by clinical examination by a qualified Gynecologist and Swab test of a discharge from vagina .

You need to take antibiotic like Augmentin and anti fungal medication like Fluconazole twice daily along with anti fungal intra vaginal medication .

Maintaining a proper genital hygiene by cleaning vagina with Betadine Vaginal solution is very important to resolve the issue .
