vaginal burn/rash

I mistaking inserted permethrin cream 5% instead of monistat into my vagina. It keeps getting worse. I called my doctor back today but she was off. It has been 5-6 days and it is still raw with blisters. My doctors saw it a few days ago before I realized about the mistake (permethrin was my my monistat box), she thought it was herpes. Is there somethting that can be done. I'm dying of pain.

Hello,

That is a significant mistake to have made.  I'm not sure what can be done about it except to allow the body to heal itself with time.  You may want to talk to your doctor about trying a vaginal steroid cream to provide some relief.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing

My vagina is burning badly, irrated and it looks as though there are small cuts and cracked, thin skinned sores on the inside and outside of my vagina. when I pee and wipe I see very tiny amounts of blood from the sores not from my vagina like a period... I've gone to the doctor and been tested for std's and nothings comes up... it hurts so bad, and it usually occurs around the time I am about to come on my period and last all the way through the end of my period...
