Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.

First of all do not panic.

Even if you are pregnant, it will be very early pregnancy.
As such locally applied hair removal cream, should not cause harm to pregnancy.

I will suggest you to apply good quality moisturizer on the affected area.
Keep parts dry and clean.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
With regards
Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar
