What Causes Burning Sensation In Vaginal Area After Using Nair Hair Removal Cream?

I believe I have a chemical burn in my genital area. I used Nair down there, which I ve done before with no problems, but I believe I left it on too long. IT stings really badly when I pee and wipe. It s much better int he shower but I was wondering what I could use down there to help heal it?

hi healthcare magic user, you are right it is chemical causing irritation and burning in vulva area.
please apply soframycin cream for soothing effect and start using Vwash soap to clean area so as to maintain healthy ph and avoid infection.
please keep local area dry and clean. use cotton undergarments and change it twice a day.
even after all this symptoms are not relieved then consult gynaecologist for local examination.
