Soreness After Using Hair Removal Cream On Vaginal Area. Advice?
I used hair removal cream to remove all pubic hair from my vaginal area and anal area. I left it on for 10mins. When I removed it I had sore areas. After sexual intercourse it was very sore. Over the next few days it seems to have opened into small slits and is stinging. I thought it was herpes but im not sure now. I am taking herpes tablets ordered online 3 days in hasnt helped. Had salt baths...not helping. Can you advise me please. Is it possible it could be burns as doesnt seem to be blister like. This has been since cream remover on friday (5days ago)

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some skin irritation due to hair removal cream giving rise to infection.
Go for one short course of antibiotic for3 days.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
ok and take care.
