Hi,
Thanks For writing to us.
Due to use of depilatory cream you have developed contact irritant dermatitis or in simpler terms irritant reaction to the product. Use a mild steroid cream for few days to help the bumps and redness subside.
Do not use veet to remove hair from face. Best option is to get laser done. If not affordable then wax the area maintaining utmost hygiene and apply a mild steroid antibiotic cream after the procedure to prevent any bumps from developing in the area.
Take care
