Suggest Treatment For Small Painful Bump On The Labia Majora

I was shaving in the shower this morning and slipped and accidentally cut myself. I think I nicked my labia minora because there is now a small painful pink bump there that wasn t there before. I cleaned it with soap and water and put some antibiotic cream on it. Is that what I was supposed to do, or will that irritate it further? How do I prevent it from getting infected?

Hi
What you did to treat it is fine but if the redness starts to spread you'll need a course of antibiotics for it
