skin irritation from taking the term "bleach bath" a bit too literally!

Take a shower if you can to get rid of the bleach (if you havent already) and you could even shampoo your body i suppose to make it extra foamy.
then sooth yourself in e45 or sudocrem if you have any. then keep an eye on your skin if you can.

Definitely make sure there is no bleach left.

I'm guessing you've tried mosturiser? That'd be the first thing I'd run to since bleach dries out hair I'm guessing it would to skin as well.

I'm guessing aloe vera and maybe after sun 'cus it could be similar to burns?

If you can get someone to get it for you, I second Sudocreme. It's so very soothing - it's nappy rash cream, very gentle and moisturising and suitable for the ... undercarriage.

Ahh poor you  🙁  yep i'd take another shower hun, and cream down as suggested, if it doesn't show improvement in a day i'd go see the doc's, just to be sure.. hope your feeling better soon.. xx

Whilst it is definitely a wise move to ensure every trace of the bleach is gone, try to use a shower gel/ face wash/ shampoo that does not contain sulphate surfactants because these are known irritants and actually damage the skin barrier. You might reset the pH of your 'lady bits' with the the very dilute lactic acid in plain live yoghurt (used in thrush) in fact you could try this on your whole body! Then use gentle/ healing/ skin barrier repairing moisturisers - no fragrance or other irritants - products like Aloe Pura aloe vera lotion, unrefined shea butter, Weleda baby calendula body cream or Boots zinc and castor oil nappy cream (not a modern product containing antibacterial agents), Balneum Cream if you can find it (not the Balneum Plus). Do not use aqueous cream BP because that contains sulphate surfactants. Avoid long showers or baths for a couple of days, 'wetting' irritated skin leaches out the skin's natural moisturising factors which can increase dryness and irritation. Also avoid getting sweaty because perspiration is an irritant. IMO get checked out by your family doctor or a practice nurse or speak to a pharmacist ASAP.

Also, when you shower make sure it's just tepid or cool water--too hot and it will only dry out and irritate the skin more.

Hope it clears up soon for you.

Thanks for the help and advice everyone! Thanks to e45 and natural yoghurt everything seems to be getting back not normal. Thanks guys for being so understanding and not taking the piss/being disgusted I feel such an idiot though. Allow me to be a terrible warning to everyone else!

That's great you are already feeling more comfortable! We have all taken risks/ done something without thinking it through; how many have had a bad sunburn as an adult or dodgy hair colour having not patch/ strand tested? *whistle*

Glad you are feeling better 🙂

With regards to your down below bits..... Asda, morrisons and most chemists sell a cream called metanium, it's for babies bums but a&e prescribed it for my 3 year old when she cleaned her bum with flash bathroom cleaner at my mums!!!

But the other suggestions of e45 are really good too, if u are short of cash then boots and asda and all chemists sell aqueous cream and it's like £1.50 for a huge tub that you could smother yourself in everyday for 2 weeks to help with the dryness caused by the bleach,

If u find u are very uncomfortable or start to get very red I'd pop to the gp who may give u a prescription for something a little stronger xxx

Be careful with aqueous cream, recent research suggests it is not as innocuous as once thought: in fact it is now contra-indicated in dermatitis in the UK.

" ... volunteers who do not have eczema applied aqueous cream to their arm twice a day, leaving it on for 10 minutes, for 4 weeks .... Overall the areas that had been ‘treated’ were 12% thinner than the untreated areas.  There was also an average 20% increase in water loss through the thinner ‘treated’ areas. .... Prof. Guy has confirmed to us: ‘Aqueous cream contains 1% sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and this is the ingredient, we believe, that causes damage to the skin barrier.’.

For reference the average commercial shampoo contains ~20% sulphate surfactants; hand washes, shower gels and face washes generally a lower percentage. My atopic eczema is triggered by far less than 1%: shampoo bubbles running down my arm! 😮 

glad your better now, and Ive done the same (ish) but after dying my hair black I got in the bath to wash it off, and only realised when parts of my body started going black lol

omg!! My 5 yr old was given that 2 yrs ago for her exzema and the dr told me to put minimal steroid cream on, but aqueous was fine to smother loads on!! Ive used it on and off since, AND I used it on my 4yr old as a newborn instead of soap after the midwife told me to!!!!

Eeee I feel like I should tell my boyfriend that (he's had atopic eczema his entire life), but he won't listen to me. He thinks I'm meddling when I try to help, because he knows his own body and I don't.

Prior to 2009 sulphate surfactants were thought to be irritant from 2%, however for decades sensitive types have been complaining that aqueous cream stings so I don't understand why it took so long to put two and two together! I speak to very few people online or IRL that have been advised to avoid sulphate-heavy cleansers anyway. This research seems to be the best kept secret in the NHS - my mother also has eczema and the pharmacy sold her aqueous cream in January .... to treat a rash induced by a sulphate-based face wash, when her eczema was still healing after quitting sulphate shampoos!  *censored*

Sulphates are also in shampoos, shower gels, face washes, exfoliators, liquid hand soap, washing up liquid, most toothpastes, some mouthwashes AND permanent hair dyes!! Awkward to avoid when you are teaching your little ones to wash their hands after using the bathroom I imagine. Please spread the word, not just for eczema but any condition where the skin is dry, broken or irritated (eg. acne). I would imagine few schools are aware of this issue.

BTW has your GP, practice nurse or midwife ever spoken to you about trying a low glycaemic index, anti-inflammatory diet? That is another highly effective treatment for eczema/ hayfever/ asthma that rarely gets a mention.  *say*
