i used tampons(alone) for the first time this past week.
i've noticed itching and a red color in my entire vaginal area. i decided to take a shower just to wash it and clean it out, and i noticed it(my left inner labia) was swelling. by the time i had gotten out of the shower, it was about three/four times the size of the other one. i looked at it in the mirror and there was a tiny, little cut on it. i'm wondering if i have some sort of bacterial infection and what to do about it. i don't want to bring it up to my mom unless it doesn't go down, but i put some anti-bacterial powder on it and now i'm waiting it out.
PLEASE HELP ?! D:
thanks.
