Stop shaving: First of all, don't shave, and if you must - use an electric trimmer. This will help avoid tiny cuts in your skin caused by a razor. Hair is there for a reason - it protects the delicate skin of the vulva. Vagisil is a horrible product that contains a harsh chemical - benzocaine - that will cause more irritation. The best thing to do is warm compresses, loose-fitting clothes, let it heal.
