I accidentally used V Wash on my face but quickly washed it off after about 10 seconds. Should I be worried about any reactions or anything?

It is important to note that V Wash is a vaginal wash and is not intended for use on the face. If you have washed it off your face immediately after realizing the mistake, the risk of any significant harm is low. However, it is possible that it may have caused some irritation or dryness to your facial skin. To help soothe any potential irritation, you can apply a gentle moisturizer to your face. Additionally, if you experience any redness, itching, or discomfort that persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
