cut on labia
I noticed my labia was bleeding from a cut, so I have been trying to stop the bleeding with gauze and sterile pads. I've tried to make sure I apply antibacterial ointment so it doesn't become infected. What can I do to stop the bleeding? It has been a day and the cut continues to bleed as soon as I try to change the bandage! Please help!
I went through the same thing. I used A & D ointment for babies and it helped stopped the bleeding. Also air it out so it has time to scab and heal. I know it sound weird but sleep with no underwear and legs open. By the second day it should stop bleeding.
You can use a non-stinging ointment like Destin or other baby diaper rash treatments.
