What to use for Vaginal friction burn?

I had sex with my boyfriend but we didn't foreplay long enough and i was dry. he attempted to enter and it was really painful. a day later i notice it was painful to wipe when i looked it was like a friction burn. skin tearing. but how do i treat it. its been a week or 2 now and it taking forever to heal and its still kind of tender and sore. i know would need to be dry in order to heal but since the location is in a very moist area i expected the healing time to be a little longer... but not 2 weeks longer, please help.

Ouch, sounds painful.  Don't forget you can use artificial lubricant if needed.  :>)  So, this will heal.  I'd give it a little break with the sex action.  And something that helps to relieve pain is Tucks wipes left in your underpants.  Yep, it helps.  Ibuprofen is a pain reliever.  After having a baby, women are told to use a squirt bottle and squirt room temp water on themselves as they pee as that can sting.  It may itch a little bit as it heals.  But yes, it can take a bit longer to heal.  Hang in there.
