I had a vaginal delivery 24 days back. Now my clitoris has started itching badly. I still wash my vagina with water and some times dettol every time I visit the washroom. When the pad touches the clit it itches even more so I also keep a little cotton above the pad as suggested by the gynaecologist. How do I heal it.
