6 weeks PP: dryness and “burn/tear”

Hey ladies,

First time mom here, and I’m experiencing something weird “down there.” I’m 6 weeks PP, haven’t had sex yet (frankly terrified) and randomly felt this burning sensation in the side of my labia today while I was showering my body... I take a peek with my mirror and it’s like a red burn line in between my labia. I’m so confused how I got this 😭 I haven’t had sex, I have no stitching or tears... is it because my whole vagina is dry and the skin stretched? Causing this burning red skin line? Idk how to explain it but it’s like red and raw...

Anyways wanting to see if it’s normal. I know about the dryness but the dryness also affects the outer area?

Sending love to everyone!
