Burning Sensation After Using Veet Hair Removal Cream In Scrotum Area. Allergy?
i used veet hair removal on my scrotum area, i washed and followed all directions and as i got into the shower, i felt a burning sensation on my balls. About 10 minutes after i put on the veet and washed it off, my scrotum began to elevate in swelling and became very tender. is this an allergic reaction, a chemical burn, or what is it? should i be worried about this?

It is allergic reaction to chemicals in Veet. It is not advisable to use chemical depilatory in form of Veet on genitals. Immediately wash off the area with lots of water, Consult your Dermatologist at the earliest who would like to see the severity of the allergy and advice you for further management.
Take care
