What Causes Swelling And Redness In The Vagina After Using Hair Removal Cream?
I used a hair removal cream on my private area last night then had inter course and woke up this morning and the lips of my vagina are completely swollen, red and extremely tender. Also it burns when I use the restroom. Is this a chemical burn or something else?

Hello and thanks for writing to this virtual clinic.
Yes, this is kind of burning.
If you have at home coconut oil, put it in the reddish zone,would help a lot. Even virgin olive oil would help
If you do not, take some chamomile tea and wet your zone with it 3-5 times per day
Do not have intercourse until it gets better, it would irritate it more
If worse ,seek medical help
Write to me again when you wish!
