HELP!!!! Veet burn

[Beeloux]

Hi all,
Any advice most appreciated. I have Pcos and get very hairy. I regularly use sensitive hair removal cream on my arms, body and legs to get rid of the baby fluff hair.

Last night when I had it on, I noticed it started tingling on my arm which it sometimes does. I left it on 5 minutes before washing it off and getting in the bath. It was stinging more so I flushed it with cold water and went to bed.

I woke up a few hours later and my arm is so sore I haven’t been able to sleep since 😩 I’ll attach a picture, it’s throbbing constantly and looks shiny and blistered. My bum and other arm are also quite sore but not too red.

Any remedies greatly appreciated! I’ve put an ice pack on but it hurts as soon as I take it off. I have some 1% hydrocortisone in the flat so not sure that would help or if it needs to be stronger. Any advice appreciated!

Not a medic, but I can remember when I had the same (top lip - now wax instead) I read to flush with cold water and ensure all traces are gone. Then use a hydrocortisone cream. Pain relief and cold compresses.

Pop to a pharmacy later and see what they recommend?

Thanks @CrowMate 😊 I’ll do that and pop to the pharmacy tomorrow. I’m meant to have a hot date hence why I used it and it looks bloody terrible 😂😩.

bumping as the photos finally uploaded 🙂
