Did Hair Removal Cream Cause Skin Redness And Discharge?

"Hello. I have used Nair hair removal cream on my genital area, which I have for years and never had any problems. A few days ago, I did the same, but some of the cream must have gone into or near the vaginal hole. Since then, I have a terrible burning when I urinate. Having sex is near impossible, as it is terribly sore. And I have a watery discharge all day long, to the point that I need to change my underwear often.
This has been for 4 days now and is not seeming to get better. I put cream on to soothe.
Will this get better after time, or should I see a doctor. I'm not sure what to do."
pretty much the same thing that i am going through except my skin is red and i don't have a lot of discharge...
