Clitoral sensitivity

Hi! Just recently i was about to.. ya know, Masturbate. But when i went to spread the "lips". I got a sharp pain in my clit. I was able to very gently move the lips as to see my clit and it is a very light pink, its usually darker, and swollen. I think the skin inside the clitoral hood was rubbed raw.. Since noticing the situation, wearing panties is uncomfortable. Im not sure what to do about relieving the pain. I put a little pratrollium jelly on it, to see if that would relieve some pain..

I would be careful putting anything on your clitoral area for fear of a UTI.  Why? Your urethra is right near the same area.

I have a very sensitive clitoris as well, and I just have to be a little bit more careful around that area.

Petroleum Jelly is a good idea to relieve some of the discomfort. In the future, use some lubricant around that area to avoid any uncomfortable friction.
