Stitches

Graze from childbirth still not healed after 12weeks?

Hi, My daughter (2nd child) is 12 weeks old. She was 9lb2oz and I managed to get a first degree graze which my midwife questioned putting stitches in but didn't. It still burns when I urinate and starts to bleed when I wipe. Is this normal? What can I do to speed up the healing process. With my first child I tore and required 3stitches and they healed very very quickly. Thanks for the advice =)

1. I've never had anything less than a second degree tear but I would imagine good hygiene. Sitting on the floor with your legs open so the tear can get some air, cleaning after every toilet time with warm water and patting dry with a towel. If not go to the dr and get it looked at. I hope it gets better soon :)
