Does Boric Acid Cause Internal Chemical Burn?

I was prescribed boric acid for a yeast infection that won’t go away with diflucan. I used two of the boric acid so far and I’m bleeding and it feels burny inside. Should I continue this treatment? It doesn’t seem right to me. Could this cause a chemical burn inside?
