issue down there...
For 3 days now my vagina has been swollen on the left side. Also I have like rubbed raw skin spots as well in the foldes of my lip walls. I've been using neosporian cause its all I can stand. Any thought on what's going on?
Thank you!

Thanks for using the forum.
In this situation I would recommend you speak with your doctor. Without an examination, it is not possible to tell what is causing your swelling and irritation. You could possibly have an infection, or ingrown hair. Skin is more sensitive during pregnancy, it could even be as simple as irritation from soap or lotion. Make sure to use mild, unscented soap to prevent any further irritation.
Hope this helps. Feel better and congratulations on your pregnancy!
