General & Family Physician 's  Response
This is due to allergic reaction caused by hair removal cream. When you have allergies, your immune system makes antibodies that identify a particular allergen as harmful, even though it isn't. When you come into contact with the allergen, your immune system's reaction can inflame your skin, sinuses, airways or digestive system.
Advice
1.     Stop using hair removal cream and never use it in future
2.     Levocetirizine 5 mg daily per oral for 3 days
3.     Dexamethasone 0.5 mg every 12 hours per oral for 3 days
4.     Use hydrocortisone cream every 8 hours until resolution
5.     Do not scratch too much. It will cause skin hypertrophy and pigmentation apart from infection.
6.     Apply calamine lotion daily for soothing effect
Thanks
