A member asked:
I applied apple cider vinegar last night to vagina to keep ph balanced, and it started burning. now its sore/burned. will it heal? any otc meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do not douche: Douching is never a good idea, with vinegar or anything else. It is not necessary for hygiene or "to keep pH balanced" -- in fact, it will screw up pH balance and harms natural bacteria that keep the vagina healthy. If you have symptoms like odor or discharge, you have an infection that needs medical attention, not douching. Burning probably will clear up in 1-2 days, but see doctor if it doesn't.
