Question : Good morning: My 12 year old daughter passed out this morning while applying veet hair removal cream. She felt like vomiting first then called us and then passed out. We removed her from the washroom and she responded within 30 seconds. She is now feeling better just weak and scared. Is this normal? We will not use these products any more. Thank you

She must have had syncope, nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
Its not normal to faint while applying veet removal cream.
She much have had a syncopal episode which can occur sometimes. I will suggest to see a doctor for a physical evaluation to understand the cause of syncope.
