Hello,
You should never leave the hair removers longer than the recommended time.
You can apply the cold compress for relief. Application of ointment soframycin or aloe vera based creams are helpful.
You should apply hydrocortisone cream to get rid of itching at least thrice daily after washing & drying the affected area.
Take care of your hygiene, do not let it get infected. For pain you can take Ibuprofen, one sos when needed. Avoid sex for a couple of days while you are being treated.
Do not scratch. It should subside within 2-3 days. However, if it doesn't you should get it examined physically by a GP.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
