Inner labia hurts when i wipe?

Lately (or i just realized) that my labia hurts when i wipe it. It leaves some sort of burning feeling on it for a few minutes after i wipe. Is this caused by my long labia? In additional i also want to ask, my labia has dark, unusual color (almost purple or black) and it is long and wrinkly. I am not as sexually active, it does not leaves any smell or liquid. Please help me i dont want to go to gyno my parents are very conservative :(

Hi,glad you posted your question.  There could be several reasons why your inner labia hurts after wiping.  A new cleanser,toilet paper can irritate the sensitive tissue. When you wash try using just water and if you have to wash with cleanser try to just apply to the hair not the sensitive skin. Do this for a week and see if you have improvement.  Check to see if toilet paper is scent free.  Laundry detergent may have some irritants such as fragrance and could irritate your labia by your underwear.  Another possibility is a yeast infection which sometimes has no itching or discharge.  That would have to be checked at a doctors office usually with a culture done.  Urine can sometimes cause the skin to burn which again would need to be checked by a doctor.  These are options to try on your own.  Unfortunately if your problem doesn't get better you might need to see a doctor.  Let me know if you find relief from isolating outside irritants.
