Hi and thank you so much for trusting us with your health query.

I am so sorry to hear about burning and itching that you are currently experiencing. My suspicion is that this nair possibly caused some minor lesions and irritation that is responsible for these symptoms. Candiderm would not help because this is not a fungal infection.

My advice would be that you simple keep the area clean and dry. These symptoms would regress in about 5-7days without any aggressive medical intervention. It is just like having a bump after shaving!

However, if you should have any signs of infection like pus, redness, aggravation of pains and itching, then consider meeting with your doctor.


I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to for more information or clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
