Ok so Im 13/f and I recently have masterbated (only for about 10 seconds) and my period was supposed to hit like almost 4 weeks ago but I have an irregular period so I wasnt too worried. Today, I went to school and had to do something called "play day" at our school where all the gr7/8's get to lead groups of kids from grades j/k-3 and some ppl get to run events that the groups go to. During the whole thing my vagina and just around my butt area hurt but it wasnt on the inside it was more on the outside. When I got home today, I went straight for the bathroom to take a look. All around my vagina is super red and I dont know what to do! Please help!!! Im not talking about this with my mom or my older sister... Could this be a result of masterbating? I masterbated about a week and a half ago. Its really red and irritating! Help me!

I KNOW you feel embarrassed showing your mom or sister but sometimes we have to do icky things in the name of health. It's reckless and irresponsible not to show one of them or ask to see a doctor. Also, as you noticed it's NOT getting any better by itself now is it? It's best to quickly show them and get it cleared up than to suffer silently and let it grow into something worse.
As hard as it is to accept your sister and your mom were your age too and probably have dealt with this and other stuff related to reproductive health far more embarrassing and will have answers for you. You need to tell or you can't be helped for it.
As far as masturbation goes it's a non-harmful and normal thing and has nothing at all to do with this issue as it's a rash, infection or reaction to perhaps a material of some sort in contact with the vaginal area or certain kinds of perfumed soaps/body wash stuff even. If you touched that area a week ago something would have happened then not now. There's just no way it could.
Talk to your mom as she's been there and dealt with it. You don't have any parts she's never seen before and she took care of your diapers too. She'll be fine with this and believe me she probably has embarrassment issues herself with this. It'll be okay and the only way to get relief from this.
