labial graze not healing - why??

anyone experienced this? I gave birth 6 wks ago and was told I had bad labial grazes. one side has healed fine but the other side is still sore. I finally plucked up the courage to check it out and it looks more like a tear to me than a graze, a long thin line just inside (sorry if tmi) that still hurts and also still bleeds if I prod it (ouch!) obviously I won't be doing that again, but is this normal?? and what can be done?

A graze is lots of little tears in the labia which are too small for a stitch. I think that's why the don't stitch them. I was told they don't stitch grazes and some first degree tears as they will heal by their self
