Suggest Treatment For Allergies To Hair Removal Cream
Recently I have had some irritation in my vagina. It mainly seems to occur in the days after using hair removal cream. The irritation has heightened recently and I now have 3 small, flesh coloured bumps. These do not appear to be in grown hairs. Do you think this could be a reaction to the hair removal cream or possibly an STI?

1.since irritation is mainly due to hair removal cream, even then make sure to check yourself with a Gynecologist for Examination to rule out other causes of allergy/irritation like: hormonal imbalance, yeast/bacterial infection, urine infection or dryness of vagina.
2. For mild cases of vaginal itching and irritation you can use youghurt,garlic, ginger, tea tree oil.
3. Avoid sugar/carbohydrates from your diet, cause sugar helps yeast to grow rapidly, also Mushroom is a kind of food which can increase your vaginal infection caused by bacteria, so avoid it till there is relief from the symptoms.
4. An antibacterial ointment may be used a couple times a day, providing you have no allergies to the antibacterial. If symptoms or pain is severe or condition worsens seek medical attention.
PS. you can be tested for STI if there is history of unprotected sex or genital contact.
