Red swollen labia??

Posted , 1 user is following.

labia majora has been red and swollen recently - all the way from the vaginal opening to the side of the clit. it is uncomfortable and a bit sore.!

The skin feels super dry and 'bunches up'. i have a tiny bit of white peeling skin on one side.

could this be thrush or something else? it doesn't feel like thrush I've had in the past.

    I can't really see anything, but the symptoms point to dry skin and autoimmune processes. I would wait and see how it develops and go to the dermatologist if the symptoms are more tangible.

    Best regards

      thanks for your reply! i forgot to mention I also got laser hair removal in the area around 4 weeks ago - wondered if this could be related. But i've not had problems in other areas I've had it including the bikini line right beside this redness

      4 weeks is a long time, don't think there is a causality. It could also be related to hormones
