How To Heal Sore And Itchy Bikini Line After Using Hair Removal Cream?
I recently used a hair removal cream on my bikini line and fear this may have resulted in a yeast infection as I have been sore and itchy done there since. However, I also read yeast infections could be the result of antibiotics as I have just finished a course of co-amoxiclav for a urinary tract infection, how do I clear this up quickly?

Hello,
The soreness and itchiness is most likely to be an allergic reaction to the cream. Take cetirizine 10 mg at bed time to relieve the symptoms. If not subsiding in 2 or 3 days, folow up with your provider to rule out yeast infection.
