What Causes Bleeding After Applying Skin Removing Cream In Pubic Region?

When ever My mom use veet hair cream in pubis area. After that she got bleeding from there. She used over armpit as well but No bleeding from there. She is in her sixties and had menopause. The bleeding is bright red colour and only after using veet cream. She had intense itching and burning sensation over the applied area when she use the cream. She also has candidiasis since long as she has curdywhite secretions.

Dear user,

Based on your introduction, this is contact dermatitis due to irritation of the skin from Veet cream. The pubic area is more sensitive than skin in the armpits. Candidiasis also plays a role and make skin more sensitive. She should avoids Veet cream and for the Candidiasis I would precribe Clotrimazole 1% cream.

Take care!
