How Can Redness On The Testicles Caused By Application Of Veet Be Treated?
i used veet on my balls some months ago. i had it on for like 6 minutes. my balls are still red. and mild ointments with kortison havent worked. my plan is to go to the doctor again and see what he will do, but i just wanna hear how you would treat this problem?

Hello,
You must have used veet to remove hairs from your balls and let me tell you that this redness is due to trauma.As there is more moisture in the area,it is likely that mixed type of infection may develop. So I'd suggest keep the area clean and dry and apply a combination cream containing an antibiotic,an antifungal and a steroid. It will certainly help and consult your dermatologist if this condition persists.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
