Is It Safe To Use Desitin And Neosporin For Small Lumps In Vagina?

Hello I used veet hair removal cream about a month ago on my bikini area,(I know bad idea) and its still irritated and now has little bumps around the area. Ive tried Desitin, Neosporin, and I just applied hydrocortisone cream to see if it would work. Is it normal to take this long to heal? And is there anything else over the counter I can use?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
hello there,
You can apply an aloe vera based cortisone cream once a day for 5 days. But cortisone creams should never be used on a prolonged basis as they have side effects. Walgreen or kirkland are both good options and can be used. In the future get a bikini wax done professionally as that way your chance of having bumps is less.

Hope this helps,
please feel free to address any further queries to me. I will be happy to help,
