Hello,
You should not wash vagina with bleach as it is a very sensitive area and using bleach can cause irritant contact dermatitis. Wear cotton underwear and avoid douching, avoid using perfumed soaps and sanitary napkins, bubble baths and toiletries and change underwear daily, wash underwear in hot water and double rinse (to remove any irritating detergent).

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Ice it for discomfort I would say it is from Bleach. Bleach is toxic. And harmful to the body. Drink lots of water to flush your skin. Also, you may go in to a clique. There are some that don't charge. Take care
