Question : Hi, I recently discovered what i believe is a friction burn on my genitals and i wanted to know if there is anything to help with it. Ive had it for about a day and it seems to be going away on its own but i wanted to find out if there is anything else i could do.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
If you are having burning sensations then you may apply ice locally.
For pain, you may take anti inflammatory like ibuprofen 400 mg thrice a day for a couple of days.
It should heal very soon.
I hope it helps however; you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
