Itching near bikini area
I accidentally applied Veet hair removal cream on the outer vulva/bikini area. I kept it for around 30 minutes because the hair was not removed. I washed it off afterward. Since then I have persistent itching and irritation in the area. I also applied a little coconut oil. There is no severe pain currently. Could this be a chemical irritation/burn? What should I apply now, and do I need an examination?”
