Cut between vagina and anus from shaving!

Hello, I have a cut between my vagina and anus. I got it from shaving and it's been there for about a week. It hurts to pee and it is itchy but hurts to the touch. I am using an ointment so that it won't get infected. What should I do? I am sixteen years old and I do not feel comfortable telling my parents.

Hi,
To help speed up the healing process, you should try using Witch Hazel pads on the affected area where the cut is. Dabbing the cut daily w/ the pads will help keep it clean and reduce the possibility of infection. You can buy the pads at almost any drug store or supermarket...

Ouchy.  Sorry!!  Really, you just have to give it time.  It's a slow healing area because as you know, a lot of stuff goes on such as pee that keeps it wet.  Hang in there.  It WILL eventually heal.  good luck
