Healing Cuts on Clitoris

My problem really isn't a disease.  I cut my clitoris in 3 places while shaving a week ago.  They have yet to heal and are very sore to the touch.  My underwear keeps it irritated and it's not in the best place to heal.  It seems even walking and sitting irritates it.  I've put neosporin with pain relief on it and powder, trying to keep it dry.  Because I think the moisture is keeping it from healing all the way.  It's not in a very good place for me to look at it, so I got my husband to look and he said that it was 3 cuts and they have new (white) skin over the cuts, but it's just too moist.  Any suggestions???  I'm desperate!!!

Ok so i cut myself today about 3 hours ago. I started my period and was very light so i used some electronic clippers to cut my hair down there cause I hate wen the blood gets all on it. But in the middle of doing it, i cut right next to the tip of my clitoris and it was a sharp pain and I looked at it immediately and it had already bled a lot. I put pressure on it and wiped away the blood. It stopped bleeding after a minute or two and there's only a little pain. Should I use peroxide and clean it since I'm now bleeding from my period? Is that safe?

A few years ago a guy was going down on me and he bit my clit and it hurt but cos I wasn't sexually active I didn't understand... My tommy hurt all day...  It started itching but it didn't heal back... Now it's saggy and dead... Well I'm not sure not the only thing I let go near it is hand while I'm in the shower... I don't even masturbate... I don't think I have actually cummed since u started having sex... ADVICE ME!!' Please

I agree with you.  I never had any type of problems down there until after I started using a vibrator.  I never could relate my problems to STD and i kept trying to figure out how the hell I keep getting bumps, i just recently got a cut on the tip of my clit.  hurt like the dicance.  I can't wait to heal and hope and pray not to get these things again.  Also itch a lot

anytime i get a cut down there i use tea tree oil dabbed on with a q-tip. it helps speed the healing. within a few days it should be fine. put the tea tree oil on like 3 times a day.

Oh man. Cuts down there take *forever* to heal. Even when they're tiny.

I managed to get myself with toilet paper (yes, a toilet paper cut) and it was over a week before it started showing any improvement.

I am in the same position right now.  It hurts to walk, sit, or even go to the restroom.  This is insane. I can't believe this...OMG it hurts so bad...I was about to cry while on the toilet. How long does it take to heal with the Sudocreme...headed to the store now to make a quick purchase...

Try sudocreme, I shaved around 6 days ago and it's beginning to heal now but I cut my vaginal area badly, I was worried at first because I thought it was something bad but I recently realised they're mere cuts like usual shaving accidents. I was in excruciating pain to walk, sit and stand. Even laying down sometimes hurt! But sudo does exactly what it says, it heals itching too and cools the area - I suggest you give it a go.

OMG I am in that same position right now, it hurts like helllllllllllllllllllllll!! when i sit, walk, or move. The panties are not doing any comfort, I've done neosporin, triple antibiotics, warm water, and plus just waited till it heals and so far it's still sore!! I need some kind of cream to heal it and take away the pain!! Any suggestions????????????? Please respond!

This might sting, but try apple cider vinegar.  I had a rip on my nipple from using a breast pump on an irritated nipple. Nothing worked until I tried the acv.
