What Could Be Causing Postpartum Pain and Itching?
TMI post!
I'm 2 weeks post partum, and still have pain like I have a small tear in my perinnial (spelling?) area that seems to keep bleeding a small bit. I also looked at things earlier, and inside the labia it's very red and there's a small rough patch close to my urethra. it's also fairly itchy throughout, but I was thinking that was normal from healing (second degree tearing). I haven't noticed a smell that's abnormal from the postpartum bleeding/discharge. what should I do, or any ideas on what could be going on? experience?

@mommy_faith they gave me the squirter bottle, dermaplast, witch hazel pads and hydrocortisone cream. I stopped using everything but the water bottle for the most part, and that's seemingly when it started. I just showered and put everything on again, so I guess I'll see if it helps?

Are you using anything down there? Like I used this cleaning solution the hospital gave me every time i peed I put it in a squirt bottle with warm water. Then I had a can of dermoplast spray, it's like numbing/pain reliever spray.

It will be red for a while. What do you mean by rough patch?

I was in pain for about 4 weeks after I had my son. The itching is cause it's trying to heal!
