Bad Waxing tear to the labia minora

Hi I’m not really a consultant but I had a major mishap. I need help and answers. I have done my own self Brazilian waxing for awhile now but it was always with stuff from the store and made a mess. I recently bought Starpil blue film wax I like it. But this time I did exactly as Mandita did and my hair grows not up or down near the labia but inwards towards it. Needless to say the left side went fine but my right side OMG. I torn the inner layer of skin between the lip and thigh. It’s flayed open. Bleed like crazy. Now I’m wondering what to do??? I don’t feel I need a doctor as I know it can heal but just not sure what to do to help it heal and how long it will take to heal. Does anyone have suggestions??? I even took s photo of it, it’s pretty nasty looking. I’d like to heal it quickly loll but have no idea how much time it would take and what to apply on it. This just happened today 6/24/18
Also my tear is located on the Labia Minora area on outer side of the lip it’s about 1.5” long and in one place almost 1/2” Wide tore clear down where underneath it looks all bumpy. Do I need stitches? God would that hurt to get too? My pain right now is ok. I haven’t when pee but then that would be an issue. Ouch. I read where using clean water to area after each bathroom use and someone said Candula cream? Would I need anything else?

Oh my oh my oh my.  That had to hurt.  Hurts me just reading it!  We can get issues like a tear in that area (think child birth) and we heal.  This is a burn?  What you do after child birth is you use a spritz bottle of water (squirt bottle where you squeeze and it all comes out, like those Gatorade drinking bottles) and fill with room temp water and squirt AS you pee.  And then they alternate with tucks medicated wipes that you leave in your undies as until the next time you go to the bathroom, and then preparation H until the next time you go to the bathroom, back to the tucks wipes in panties.  

But let me say this . . . in all honesty.  This is a burn and a tear, right?  Can you have a doctor look at it?  I'd be careful about applying things.  I'd try to keep your hands of it in general so it doesn't get infected.  Is a doctor taking a look possible?
