The fissure is NOT healed and now I have a new problem. Vaginal skin is extremely loose and turned dark purple, almost black. I'm sure it is due to the increased blood flow from the many things I've tried so far.
Has anyone else had this experience? Should I see my gynac? Or will it heal it I stay away from the sitz/nitro etc?
Are you talking about your labia or your vagina? The labia is outside and having some darkening is normal during certain times in our cycles. Its just the capillaries (little blood vessels) getting backed up a bit. The vagina is inside the body. Its hard to see what the wall of the vagina looks like without a mirror, flashlight, and some yoga moves. Can't think of anything but bruseing that would make that blue, but I don't have complete information on that.
If you want to know more about your lady parts, I highly recommend "The V Book." Its really fascinating stuff.
