Help! Cut my fanjo. (TMI)

[OldEnoughToBeYourMum]

First off, yes, IABVU posting here but I'm desperate.

I was pruning my nether region, the razor slipped and made contact with my clit. Not enough to have me rushing to A&E/111/101/call an ambulance etc. but it's definitely cut, I can feel it and I'm wincing slightly with the pain. I've got a cold compress on it.

Wtf else do I do?! Sudocrem? Ice in a flannel?

111 OP! If it helps I'm an ex gynae nurse.

The genital area is very very prone to infection, you don't want that. Don't be embarrassed - we've seen it all before - ive even seen hair removal cream get in the wrong places and burn clitorises and labia minora

And stay away from the sudocrem until you get medical advice.

Assuming it's clean before the injury occurred, bleeding also cleans a wound so if it's bled a bit that's good. I wouldn't put anything on it, just let the air get to it and let it heal. Comfy cotton knickers and a skirt tomorrow so the wound doesn't get irritated at all. If it wasn't clean before the injury, boil up some water, dissolve some salt in the water, let it cool a bit then bathe the area with the salt solution and some cotton wool. If you can't touch it just trickle the salt water over the wound. Might sting a little but better than getting an infection. Hope you heal up soon!

Oh good I’m cringing. This is why I don’t shave my bits.

Salt baths might be an idea. Widely used in the olden days on maternity wards to soothe and help prevent infection.

My razor cut

Posted too soon, my razor cut wouldn't heal for years and after a particularly bad 6 months of infection it only went after 2 rounds of antibiotics. So I would try to get it seen to sooner rather than later if I was you.

Contact your gp tomoro morning.

Thanks for the advice. It feels like a really bad paper cut

This has been my biggest fear since first shaving.

Calling my GP this morning is going to be a fun experience!

Seriously don't be shy OP, they've seen way way worse without a rational explanation.

Ouch it's going to sting

Ouch!! Just remember they’ve heard it all before
