Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would keep a possibility of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation secondary to the application of the Depilatory cream. Depilatory creams like veet cause some amount of irritation at the site of appliaction which can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmenation.
I would advice that you stop using this cream and use either Shaving Or can go in for Laser hair reduction in this area which would give you lasting results.
Regarding the existing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation i would advice that you use a kojic acid based cream twice daily which would fade away the pigment gradually.
take care
regards
