I am a guy, please make men wash their hands ladies.  Remember health class, cleanliness is number 1. In couples haste to get to the good part sometimes leads to things like this. Ladies take it from a man always protect yourselves. After all it's your body

That happened to me, acouple months ago,(Feb2012) My right side of vigina was swollen, tiny little bumps, red, and  it looked like I had a white scratch? I could pee and it wouldn't hurt, but I couldn't touch it, even when I walked it hurt. I went to the Doctors right away, and she said, It looked swollen, and had a scratch.
So, she told me to use salt water in the bathtub, but I put in a water bottle and cleaned myself everytime I used the washroom, but the salt made things worse. After awhile, the area looked raw, like the salt was eating my skin, and I was scared to pee by now, cause it would hurt like "HELL" when I got pee on it :( I was so frustrated, and started using Vaseline. it helped when I peed, but hard to clean off, cause I used lots.
So, it wasn't healing :( I was very upset. I didn't know what to do?
And I rememberd oneday of my Mothers friends used "Starch" a baking ingredient. On her child, who suffered from a bad baby rash. So, I stopped using salt water, and Vaseline, since the Vaseline was keeping down there more moist.  
So, I used just a bottle water, poked a hole on the cap.
and after cleaning myself, and air dried, I would put lots of Starch. And it helped. And no time the area healed.
But, today I woke up with it again.
I don't know, if I'm scratching myself when I sleep, or my partners penis keeps hitting that area too much that a rash builds up?

The same thing is happening to me. On new years eve I booked up with this guy and he was bigger than my usual and I was intoxicated so I wasn't as wet as usual and I had also shaved that night. Now I'm all red and swollen. I have sensitive skin so with walking every day it got rubbed raw. I put a cold press on it and it helps sometimes but being naturally wet I wake up and it's irritated all over again. What should I do?

If your vagina swollen and painful you could have a bartholin gland cyst or abcess. Ice does not help for vaginal swelling like it does for other parts of the body. The best thing is rest, hot compress for 15-30 minutes 3 times a day or a warm bath 30 minutes 3 times a day and motrin. If your symptoms do not get better or get even worse, GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM! This is not a game ladies! After all it is your vagina.
