What do you advice? Please help

the other day I shaved my vagina with a new razor I bought but I do not know what exactly I did because I didn't notice until later when I went to the bathroom I have a small size circle of thin layer skin peeling off I didn't notice till I pulled down my underwear and it had got stuck and peeled a little bit more. it kind of burns but I think it's because of my skin peeling I know I don't have anything so I'm wondering what it is. it is not directly on my genital area it is above the line of the lips on my vagina on the upper left-hand side.. it's kind of freaking me out what can I put on it if anybody has an idea of what it is.

It sounds like you peeled off a layer of skin with the new razor. I would use hydrogen peroxide an then a thin layer of Vaseline until it heals. Just be more careful next time. I've done this myself with a new razor. I hope this helps!  :)

Thank ill try it. Someone told to use Neosporin.. Is that ok too
Neosporin or Polysporin would be better than just plain Vaseline because of their anti-bacterial properties, and far less irritating to the tissues than hydrogen peroxide.  Get the ointment kind rather than the cream, because it gives better protection to the sensitive skin.
