Used Hair Removal Cream On Vagina. Having Burning Sensation. What To Do?

Thanks for posting your query.
It looks like irritant contact dermatitis to the hair removing cream. First of all, do not apply Veet any more. Wash the area with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. XXXXXXX it dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area or use a thin layer of Vaseline. Creams containing ceramides and calamine lotion may be helpful but avoid use of any creams containing propylene glycol, lactic acid, urea or salicylic acid.
Also you can take oral antihistaminics like Benadryl or Zyrtec and use topical steroids but don’t take them without a medical supervision unless prescribed by your doctor. He will start with mild steroids first. Topical immunomodulators like pimecrolimus and tacrolimus can be used in severe conditions but they are available under prescription.

You can apply calamine lotion on the rashes and Neosporin cream on the blister. Also take antiallergic like Benadryl or Claritin( both may cause drowsiness).
