Hi,

Accidentally you applied veet on scalp and hair loss occured from the applied part. It is a normal thing, no problem..as the loss of hair is just temporary. Veet affects the hair shaft at the surface of scalp and remove the hair shaft. It does not affect the root of hair. So, as theroot is saved, the new hair is likely to grow.
So, why to worry,just keep patience. You will definitely get new hair growth at the affected site. No treatment is needed.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
