Hi.Well,the first thing that you must know when it comes to 'down there'? Is you should never-ever put anything..such as creams,ointments,vitamin e oils,anything...lotions..nothing at all..... besides vaginal lubricant(specifically made for 'down there').You should never apply anything other than vaginal lubricant 'down there'.Ok? No vitamin e...no sorbolene(whatever that is)...nothing.Ok. And,by doing so? You will greatly increase your chances of getting a vaginal yeast infection,or a vaginal infection which is even worse..known as bacterial vaginosis also known as BV.So,please be very careful when using anything,creams,lotions,vitamin creams,etc.And,even douching isn't encouraged...you should be seeing a gynecologist since you've started having sexual contact.And,your gynecologist will give you the advice you will need..and also the do's,and dont's of proper vaginal care.The best option for you now..for this burning? Run plenty of luke warm water over your vaginal area(sit over the toilet using a little 'extra clean' bucket,bowl anything easily held by hand,make sure it is very clean),and continue running luke warm water over your vaginal area until the burning has stopped or tolerable.Take care.
Most antiseptics do sting for a while. It could be more to do with Thrush a common treatable infection and it is very painful. See your Chemist or doctor for advice on the best treatment for you.
try putting cold water on it constantly ang go back to sorbolene and vitamin E
Yeah, don't do that again....
