My right labia majora is swollen and a little red and stiff. I have never had sex so i know its not that and im not sexually active my finace is in the marines and i havent seen him in months. I do have bacterial vaginosis but i really dont think it has anything to do with that though i am using sapositories for that. Anyways, i just started shaving completely down there, 3 days after i started my right labia majora got sore and red and stiff there is no puss or bumps its only red and stiff and a tad swollen. I cant walk comfortably or even sit comfortably. I dont have benefits and though i dont want to say im poor, but i dont have 100 dollars to give a gyno, i dont really have much money. Im not sure what to do, i just bought some triple anti-bacterial cream and some ibuprophin (anti-inflammitory). Its seems kinda far fetched that some creme and some pain pills will clear up a swollen labia majora but hey if it really can work i will do it. What im asking is does that sound right? Is there anything else i should be doing, maybe a home remedy or is this really the best thing short of going to the gyno. My finace comes home in 2 weeks after being gone 6 months and i want this gone before he gets back i wont see him again another year!!!! Please please help me!!!
