Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have been using veet cream on face, Well veet cream ingredient like steroid, tretinoin which should not be used for long time because of their side effects like redness of skin and peeling of skin and people usually suffer from steroid abuse like condition . I would suggest you to immediately stop using this cream , start washing your face with cold water and mild soap and then apply cream containing kojic acid . Also apply vitamin E oil at night . If condition doesn't get improve in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may recommend chemical peeling depending upon severity of condition .
Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
