I just got out the shower about an hour ago and mid shower after i scrubbed my vulva area and over my clitoris it started to burn and become swollen and red. i took my phone out and tried to feel for bumps or cuts. i feel the pain but cant see any bumps. did i scrub too hard ? my clitoris hood is the most swollen part and it slightly raised and red. i really think i just scrubbed too hard and bruised it and maybe left a few cuts. i used an exfoliating rag. i hope this makes sense, i can post pics if need be or if the swelling doesnt go down.

    Hi, this is a sensitive area. You may have irritated the place just with friction. Try to soak in a lukewarm baking soda bath to reduce inflammation but I would just let it be. Keep us updated if it doesn't resolve.
