Brief Answer:
Please be cautious if this is the first time you are using the cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. The hair removal cream by veet has a product information highlighting that the cream should be used on a small part of skin and observed for 24 hours for any adverse skin reaction. This is because it contains chemicals which might cause adverse effects in some people who are sensitive towards it.

2. In your case it is only a few hours and therefore if this is the first time you are using the product then it is recommended that you wait at least 18 to 20 hours to know if there is any skin sensitivity that you have developed to the cream.

3. In most likelihood it will not cause any adverse reaction but since you plan to use it on the chest and the skin area involved is large therefore it is suggested that you wait and then use it after confirming the absence of any adverse reaction.

4. The product label also specifies that no anti perspirant, a perfumed product, swimming, sunbathing or using artificial tanning equipment should be indulged in for 24 hours following use of the cream. This is because the skin becomes sensitive after application of the cream and use of any other irritants in anti perspirants, perfumes, swimming pool water or sunbathing might cause skin irritation.

5. In conclusion, if this is the first time you are using this cream then it is better to wait and watch for any skin reactions. If you have used it earlier and there has been no skin reaction then you might proceed with using it today evening. Also please take precautions to avoid any skin irritant, swimming or sun bathing for 24 hours after using the cream.

Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
