Hi,
It may be irritant contact dermatitis due to chemical in veet. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Apply combined cream of steroid and antibiotic. Take oral steroids in tapering dose. Take antihistaminics like cetirizine. Take Sitz bath in dettol mixed water. Avoid application of hair removal cream. Avoid soap bath.
Hope this helps.
