What Causes Vaginal Bleeding?

I noticed about a week ago my clit was sore almost like raw. But I hadn t had sex or anything in a while. Then I noticed when I wiped a little blood on the toilet paper so I spread my lips and wiped again to see where it was coming from and it was the clit. What could cause this

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, sorry to hear that. If it is not from vagina but coming from clitoris, then it might be because of some cut injury or infection. Is there any associated pain, burning sensation or itching? If there is itching, foul smelling, mild pain, then it might be some infection and applying antifungal oinment may help the symptoms in few days. If it is just bleeding, then might be because of some injury due to rubbing or friction. Just wash the area properly and wipe gently. It will be fine.
