Hello dear
I understand your concern
You have developed allergic reaction to the hair removal cream.
It is just like chemical burn.
Polysporin is antibiotic and it does not help for labial irritation
Take following advises:
Take oral antihistamines named allegra
Apply vaseline based hydrocortisone ointment: it soothes the skin and give relief from the irritation.
Wear loose cotton inners.
Avoid tight clothing.
Avoid any perfumed soap,scented toilet papers or deodorants.
Dont worry.It will subside mostly.
Hope this may help you
Contact HCM for further health query
