Question 2

Accepted Answer

Oh my gosh - did : You use a peel on the delicate tissues of your vulva or worse yet - in the vagina?  Peels are never to be used on that part of the body. The only responsible recommendation i can make at this point is to seek medical evaluation. It will help to determine the extent of injury caused.

Question 3

during a shower today, some very hot water got into my vagina and caused some burning sensation.can it cause cancer and can i use bacitracin ointment?

Accepted Answer

No and no: I&#x27;m sorry you got a burn. You&#x27;d do well to turn the water temperature down in your shower, but the heat exposure isn&#x27;t going to give you cancer. If you have a simple, visible burn, simple first aid is sufficient, otherwise simply keep the area clean.

Question 4

i have has a terrible itch around my vagina for several days now. an anti itch cream has not really helped. would an antibiotic ointment be better?

Accepted Answer

Yeast?: The main cause of vaginal area itching is yeast infection. Antibiotic ointment wouldn't help, might make it worse. Best get care to confirm diagnosis. But if not at risk for STDs and no open sores in the irritated area, maybe try an OTC vaginal yeast treatment. Choose any with "azole" active ingredient (clotrimazole, miconazole, etc); pharmacist can help. For sure see doc if no help after 2-3 days

Question 5

is triple antibiotic ointment safe to put on vagina if there are tears?

Accepted Answer

Not best solution.: This area of the body is very vascular allowing it to heal well. If you have a yeast infection – then use of an antifungal medication for tears would be appropriate. If you were to use an antibiotic ointment  it may lead you to becoming sensitive to the medication. It might also irritate the delicate tissues.

Question 6

what to do if you mistakenly put triple antibiotic ointment inside of your vagina?

Accepted Answer

Some of the medication will likely be absorbed but have no significant effect unless you are allergic to a component in the med. Then it could produce a local skin reaction.

Question 7

can using a triple antibiotic ointment as a lubricant during intercourse cause a white, thick, odorless cream like discharge in and on my vagina?

: It sounds like it can in your case. The use of antibiotic creams may alter the normal vaginal flora and cause fungal infections that may behave very much with symptoms as you described and seeing your doc, ideally a gynecologist if established, would be best at this point.

Question 8
