Is Bactine Spray Safe To Use After Labiaplasty?

Question

Is it safe to use Bactine Spray to help relieve pain and itch after labiaplasty?

Jeff Angobaldo, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question! Although it can be safe to use, its not recommended. The itching could be from healing, suture ends, infection, or many other things. Pain is common unless it is persistent and unrelieved with medications. I would avoid spraying anything on the area and just continue to wash the area twice daily with antimicrobial soap. Avoid pulling at the sutures if the dissolvable suture ends start to poke through. If you have any discharge, excessive itching, pain with urination, or excessive itching, you may have a yeast infection from antibiotics if you prescribed them. If it continues, I would follow up with your surgeon just to ensure everything is healing appropriately. Good luck!

There shouldn't be much pain or itch after labiaplasty. You should go in and see your doctor to make sure there isn't any problem. I use vaseline only and spray water to clean the area after labiaplasty. That's all you should need.

You should avoid spraying chemicals on your labiaplasty scars as they may irritate the healing process. Pain from labiaplasty is primarily from inflammation and anti-inflammatory pills (motrin, advil, etc) will usually suffice.

Topical antiseptic will not necessarily hurt your labiaplasty, but sometimes simple soap and water can do the same job.  Make sure not to irritate or pull on the suture line. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Bactine is an antiseptic and analgesic. Its an old product which still can help with minor cuts.Your doctor should be able to give you or write for something more effective
