Hair removal cream help

So embarrassed here

I used bikini-specific hair removal cream as instructed, but seem to have reacted anyway!

It’s been a couple of hours and the area is still red, raw and blotchy! It looks like a rash, there’s redness at the roots of my hair.

Where do I go from here? I have some steroid cream (hydrocortisone & eumovate) at home, would that be overkill? It hurts to even wear underwear!!

I did this a few months ago, slathered on some sudacrem for a few days and it cleared up. You have my sympathies

You have my sympathies, I managed to react to the facial hair one and my chin was bright red & broken skin. Not nice! Thank goodness for wfh & not needing to leave the house!

Like pp said I just coated it in Sudocreme and after a couple of days it was still red but not sure anymore.

Hope it clears up soon for you.

@MrsCaptainJakeBallard ooo love your username! And thank you, the reaction is in the worst possible area 🤦🏼‍♀️ Sudocreme has been a godsend. Hair removal is such a pain
