Answer:
If you aren't bleeding anymore, then I don't think that you did any major damage and I think you'll be fine. Because the scissors were metal and you did cut yourself, you could develop an infection very easily. If you show any signs of discolored discharge or fever, you need to tell your mom right away. It burns because you are suffering from a cut in a moist area - these take longer to heal than wounds that are open to the air. If I were you, I would make a salt-water solution of 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda (NOT POWDER!), and dissolve this into a pint of warm water. Tell your mom to teach you how to use this to irrigate yourself (douch). This isn't a method you should ever do regularly at any time since it does disturb the normal flora of the vagina but in your case, you are trying to ward off infection. You would only need to do this once a day for a couple of days. If you don't want to mix this yourself, you can also purchase a "Normal saline solution" from any pharmacy or drug store and use it in the same manner. The echinasea isn't going to help you with this matter. Also, you can take an over the counter pain reliever (whatever you tolerate) for the pain.
