Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Groin Area After Applying Veet Hair Removal Cream
I applied veet hair removal cream to remove pubic hair but accidentally put it on the inner parts and it has swollen and flared up and is very uncomfortable and painful and the swelling hasn t gone. I ve applied sudocrem but it hasn t helped. Do I need to go to a medical professional if it s no better in the morning?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The swelling and discomfort are related to the body's inflammatory response to the trauma.
It will decrease though this can take a few days.
It would be best to consider the use of a cold compress to the area along with the use of anti inflammatory pain medication such as naproxen, ibuprofen, cataflam.
These meds would reduce both the swelling and the pain.
The cold compress should be applied for 20 to 30 mins, 2 to 3 times a day.
I hope this helps
