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?

Yeah it's definitely a pad thing if that's what you're using (which I'm assuming you are otherwise, how is it getting up there??)... I found that if I use anything made by Kotex my outer girly parts literally CRACK and turn red and rashy. It itches until I touch and then burns like hell. I started using Natracare pads (made of cotton, not polyester blend crap, and they're not bleached or covered in weird scents and chemicals - they feel like velvet) and I have had no problem since then.
