A member asked:

I washed my irritated vulva with a bar of soap now it hurts what can i put to stop the pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hydrocortisone: Hydrocortisone cream will most likely help for the here and now. But, the question is, what caused the irritation to begin with? You need to follow-up with your gyn.
