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.

I've been dealing with an itch in my groin area for the past week, and it's just not getting better. I've tried using Soframycin and Dermi5, but they don't seem to be helping. In fact, the skin's turned red and it looks like it's starting to peel a bit. What could be going on here, and is there something else I should try to get some relief?

I'm planning to attend an event soon and I'm thinking about using a cream called UltraBrite to reduce some marks and dark circles on my face. I'm only planning to use it for a week and then stop. Do you think that's okay? Could it have any side effects if I just use it for such a short time?
