Suggest Remedy For Itchy Skin Infections/allergy

Hi. I used Veet hair removing cream on Sunday and my lower legs are constantly itching. This happened when I used another brand of hair removing cream.Could I be allergic to it?I keep washing my legs with Dettol antibacterial soap. It helps ease the itching.What can I use to stop the itching?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Yes, it could very well be allergic contact dermatitis.
First of all, don't use dettol, it also has irritant properties.
Use Dermadew soap for bathing
Apply dermocalm lotion on the affected parts twice daily
take tab levocetrizine 5 mg at bedtime
Review after 5 days.
Take care.
