What Are The Side Effects Of Veet Facial Hair Removal Cream?

Hi, I used veet facial hair removal cream on my face 2 days ago and it burnt my face and I have school tomorrow and my face is all cracked and sore. Is there anything I can do to soften and clear my face? Like how long does it take and will it scar my whole face?? PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely a chemical burn from veet hair removal cream.It usually occur in case of keeping the cream for long time than needed.Gentle washing with normal saline will be helpful.It is better to approach a dermatologist for this.Tetanus prophylaxis will be needed.Silver sulfadiazine cream is helpful if it is not allergic for you.If allergic then other medicated creams will help.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
