Suggest Treatment For Red, Swollen And Itchy Vagina

I used nair vaginal cream 2 days ago. I left it on for about 7 mins (which was the recommened time) no hair was removed but my vaginal lips are very red swollen with bumps everyone! It burns and itches at the same time. Ive used ice, vasoline, neosporin and nothing is helping. I cant wear underwear or walk with my legs closed. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you have developed an allergic reaction to the cream. I would suggest that you should take an antihistamine like Fexofenadine 180 mg orally once a day along with local application of steroid based skin cream for relief.
If the problem persists, get yourself clinically examined by your Gynecologist.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
