Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
You have developed Irritant Contact Dermatitis to the hair removal cream.
If I was the treating doctor I would suggest you to use a topical moderately potent steroid cream e.g fluticasone propionate (Flutivate cream), twice daily for a few days. That should take care of the redness and burning sensation.
An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg once daily would help in providing symptomatic relief from burning and itching.
