Suggest Remedy For Burning Vagina Lips After Using Hair Removal Cream
I was using nair on my vulva, because shaving just gets too hard and tiring. I know you re not supposed to use it at all down there but I thought I was safe because I didn t directly put it on my vagina lips, but somehow the nair got on them. Now it burns like crazy, especially when I pee, or when my underwear rubs against them. What do I do? Please help!

Yes. You have rightly pointed out out you should not use such creams in sensitive areas of the body. What you can do is wash the area with Luke warm water with mild soap or moisturising soap (dove) thrice a day. You can apply soothening cream like moisturiser (dermadew) once in the morning and once at night. Keep the area clean and dry. Gradually irritation will reduce completely by 3 days.
