This sounds gross but I don't care. I got my period a few days ago. Over the past few days, my clitorus has been hurting, really sore, like sorta stinging. Today my period stopped enough for me to examine it properly. There was all this dried blood on it that has been there for, I assume, 2 days. I gently removed all the dried blood I could see, but it still really hurts. I had a bath to wash it properly, but am scared there's still some down there, some that I can't see to remove. If there is what can I do about it, short of visitng a doctor. Also, if there isn't, is my clit infected, or will the pain go away by itself? Can menstruation ever cause infections, in cases like this?

I've gotten raw and sore there before. I'm fairly sure it's a minor rash coming from being "not-quite-clean". I take a mild soap, and scrub gently with the pads of my fingers until the suds rinse clean. Then, I make sure it dries well, which usually involves lying in front of a fan. It'll take a couple days for the pain to fade, if this is the problem.
