Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have gone through your complaints and you seem to have developed an allergic reaction to the hair XXXXXXX
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a steroid lotion like mometasone lotion on the affected areas twice daily and take a short course of oral steroids like tablet prednisone 20 mg once daily in the morning for 7-10 days.
Besides this take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg twice daily for 7-10 days.
These will help in resolving your pain and burning sensation.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
