Question 1

i used a facial hair  removal cream last night which caused a superficial chemical burn i called an advice nurse who talk me to call poison control and i did but she told me to just rinse my face with cool water for 20 minutes and just keep it moisturize

Accepted Answer

This could be: an allergic reaction to one or more ingredient of the cream or one of the side effect of the cream. Since the involved area is your face which is one of the most important visible part of the body i suggest to you to go to an Urgent care or ER if you can get a hold of your doctor by phone.

Question 3

i have chemical burns from hair removal cream, any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Hair remover burns: I can appreciate your frustration. For hair remover burns simply wash the area copiously with cool water. Then apply an antibiotic ointment such as bacitracin, to the area 2-3 times a day. Long er term effects such as skin increased pigmentation would suggest the appropriateness of a visit to a dermatologist.

Question 6

i used magic hair removal powder on my pubic area last night and i think now i have chemical burns from it. it was bleeding a little bit in a few different spots, and it hurts a bit. what should i do in this situation?

Accepted Answer

Clean/watch: Start by cleaning the area with antiseptic soap. If you can find an otc antibiotic cream I would use it to cover open wounds. Look at the site multiple signs daily &amp; re-clean/re-apply cream as needed. Increasing redness or drainage would be worrisome. It will likely heal in a week or so.

Question 7

how do i treat a burn from nair, hair removal cream?

Accepted Answer

Try...: ...1% Hydrocortisone cream. If that is not sufficient, you'll need to see a dermatologist for a prescription cream. If the burn (actually an irritant dermatitis) is on your face, now you know why depilatories like nair are not recommended for use on the face.
