Is it safe to put rubbing alcohol on the vaginal area?!
Question: Is it safe to put rubbing alcohol on the vaginal area?
Long story short, I got a cut on the vaginal area, not in the vagina, and now it's swelling and I put rubbing alcohol on it once (Ladies: Even if it safe, IT HURTS LIKE HELL!) but now it's hurting extremely, and I can't ask my grandparents...
Answers:
Have a hot bath and put some Epsom Salts in the bathwater. It might sting a bit but it will reduce the swelling and disinfect the area. Calendula cream will heal the cut 50% faster than anything else. You can get it at a health food store.
Good old fashioned soap and running water are all you need, really. Just use what ever you usually use in the shower, lather for twenty seconds, then rinse for twenty seconds (sing the A-B-C song, that's about twenty seconds). If you like, you can apply neosporin.
If all else fails, and the swelling continues - you are gonna have to fess up to grandma. Don't worry, she was once a wild woman. Don't let the hair fool you.
No alcohol!!! Wash gently with plain warm water. Put a dab or antibiotic ointment on the cut. If you do not have a tube of antibiotic ointment, use a touch of vaseline for now to protect it. Tomorrow go to a drug store and ask for a tube of antibiotic ointment. The pain should stop and the swelling and redness should go away in a couple of days. If there is pus or it gets worse, , you will need to see a doctor.
No, you burned yourself.. Dont put any chemicals on your sensitive areas, avoid chemical burns
You aren't going to die or anything, just gunna suffer , maybe days

Nooooo don't do that!! Rubbing alcohol will just irritate you a lot, it should only be used to clean dirt from open wounds and hopefully there isn't any dirt there.
Noooo!!!!!!!!
Wash it with MILD soap and warm water.
