I was paranoid about having HPV, so I tried the apple cider vinegar test. However, I stupidly forgot to dilute the vinegar and applied it via cotton ball all over the bottom half of my vagina. I went to a doctor the same day, who said the bumps were normal (caused by estrogen, mine just happened to be very pronounced). Today, I felt a little burning from the inside and noticed a small cut on the outside of my vagina, not anywhere near the entrance. Could this be herpes or is it more likely I dried my vagina out with the vinegar?
Hi there! It's probably caused by vinegar. It can't harm you. Some of the earliest symptoms can include: an itching or burning sensation, pain in the legs, buttocks, or genital area, vaginal discharge, a feeling of pressure or fullness in the abdominal area. Do you have these symptoms too?
There is SOME burning, but it isn't unbearable. There isn't any itching and I haven't noticed any new bumps. I'm hoping my vagina is just irritated that I even though putting vinegar down there was a good idea. Do you know how long it'll take for the vinegar's effects to wear off? I plan on getting checked in a few days if I'm not feeling 100% better and I heard sometimes the vinegar can cause scarring.
Well, I'm not sure how long will it take, but you can apply some baby oil on the dry area after taking a shower, while your skin is still damp. It will moisturize your skin and relieve the burning.
this is for April O... what if you do have pain in those areas and discharge and pressure in lower abdomen. do you know additional information?
hey there so i do have those symptoms, would you mind elaborating on cause of symptoms. also are you sure straight vinegar douche can not harm the vagina?
Can straight vinegar permanently damage the vagina?
