What Causes Soreness And Swelling In Vagina?
Hi I have a very sore and swollen vulva. On my labia minora I have what looks like a flat dark red blood blister. I am itching and sore and feel like I need to pee all the time. I have been married for 15 years and in this time have had no sexual partner other than my husband. What could this be?

Hi,
From what you have said, it looks like acute genital ulcer or vulvitis. Sometimes, it occurs just before a period or after. Change your under garments, wash regularly with warm and cold water. Use of some topical cream will relieve all these symptoms. Kindly consult your gynecologist to have a look on the lesion so that they will prescribe accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
