I've been having some burning and pain down there after some oral and fingering. It even bled a bit after a few days, but I thought maybe that's normal since it was my first time. It's been over a week now, and while it doesn't hurt all the time, the pain and irritation just come and go randomly. Do you think there's something wrong with me?

You may have developed a vaginal infection or irritation due to the sexual activity. The symptoms of burning sensation, pain, and occasional bleeding could indicate an infection such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. I recommend using an over-the-counter antifungal medication like Monistat (clotrimazole) for a possible yeast infection. You can also try using a gentle feminine wash like Vagisil to help with irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.
