Hi I just used nair bikini hair removal Creme on my vaginal areas, but only where the pubic hairs are, they didn t burn much but when I got out of the shower I applied lidocaine- topical analgesic and it burned like crazy but then cooled down the area.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of vaginal burns. My treatment advice is –
1. Avoid applying soap or antiseptic lotion like Dettol on that part.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm on it.
3. Take an NSAID (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) like ibuprofen
If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
