Hello. Thank you for writing to us
You have developed skin burn to wax and tea tree oil being an irritant has worsened it.
Topical steroids being antiinflammatory are effective in irritant dermatitis.
The cream that you inquire contains exactly that i.e a mid -potent topical steroid, mometasone furoate and would be effective.
You may use it twice daily for a week or so.
I also suggest an OTC oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10 mg once daily for symptomatic relief from burning and itching.
Regards
