HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The swelling and hard consistency are due to an inflammatory reaction to the nair.

It would be helpful to use an anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen.
In addition the use of topical steroids such as hydrocortisone may also be helpful in reducing the inflammatory reaction.

I hope this helps
