Can I apply Zinc-based cream, such as baby buttock cream, to my vulva?

30-year-old womana year ago

Hello, I gave birth a week ago. I had several stitches. I bled a lot in the last few days, so a lot of moisture. However, the pain that I feel now seems to be more related to an irritation in the vulva.

Hello madam, yes it can be done, but given your situation, I would advise you to consult the perinatal unit again to rule out other causes.

Sincerely,
