What Is The Suggestion For Burning And Sore In Bikini Area Due To Hair Removal Cream?
Hi, I just used veet hair removal cream on my bikini line and accidently got it on the whole inside between my legs.. It started burning instantly so I jumped in the shower straight away to wash it off which was extremely hard since it was so sore! It is now extremely sore and burning and red (very angry looking) and it burns when I urinate. I ve put my daughters nappy rash cream on it but is there anything else I can do? Or should have done? Should I see a dr?

Hi
For chemical irritation from a hair removal cream, quickly remove the lotion with cool water and apply a cold washcloth.Apply a 1 percent hydrocortisone ointment which is a steroid ointment to calm the redness. Keep the area moist by regularly applying a moisturiser containing aloevera gel.Ice covered with a cloth can also be kept for a few seconds to reduce the discomfort.Avoid using hair removal creams in sensitive areas.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
