Suggest Remedy For Itching Caused By Using Hair Removal Cream
Hi, i just applied a hair removal cream on my upper lip but it started itching and i rinsed it immediately. But i'm scared it might swell up/ develop sores overnight. I'm currently icing it, is there anything else I can do to prevent swelling? Thanks!

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
In addition to the application of ice therapy, you can consider the use of oral anti inflammatory pain killers and oral anti histamines.
These should dampen your response.
Examples of oral anti inflammatory pain killers are ibuprofen, cataflam, aspirin, naproxen, voltaren. You can use one of these. These are available over the counter.
I hope this helps
