I have a degree in Biomedical Engineering and Psychology from Northwestern University. I finished medical school and completed my M.D. at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. I am currently in my residency for surgery- hopefully to be specializing in neurosurgery.
I want to answer questions on medical type questions. I'm a big fan of Dr. Drew Pinsky on Love Line and would like to help younger people from the mistakes I see a lot of young people do when they come into my ER.

So I was preparing for a pool party today and used a diplatory on my bikini area. But...I accidentally got it everywhere down there and even near my vaginal opening!! It burns like hell and when I pee its like double hell. I know its not meant to go in that area but is there anything terrible that can happen to me? HOW DO I STOP IT FROM BURNING?? (link)

Those items are actually evil things. They work by causing a chemical burn to get rid of hair and other things. However, when they stay on too long- they do cause a chemical burn (much like a 1st degree burn). I once got that stuff on me, and I had a severe chemical burn- to the point that I couldn't go to work because it hurt so much.
What can you do to help it from not burning too much. Unfortuanately, what you will have to do is go to the doctor and possibly get an antibiotic cream- which will prevent infection and also help soothe the area. You may be given silver sulfadine- which is something that we give to our burn patients.
You can also use a petroleum based (vasoline) based jelly to keep that area well moisturized and hydrated- that skin is burned, which means no moisture- so have to keep it hydrated. Also, drink lots of water. To help urination- you may have to ask your doctor for a numbing cream with lidocaine or xyelocaine in it.
Hope you feel better,
AK
