Hi,
Rashes, itching and redness in and around the vaginal area are suggestive of an allergic reaction to used cosmetics, as because the skin in this area is very sensitive. I advise you to:
- Ue body wash like benzoyl peroxide 5% prior to hair removal
- Antihistamines + cortisone cream can be used
- Avoid hot showers as it might worsen the symptoms in some cases and maintain good hygiene.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
