A member asked:

My daughter severely irritated her bikini w nair what would soothe it?

Cool water: The nair may have been left on too long, or she may have a sensitivity to it. I would advise her to never use this product again. For some relief, she should apply cool water compresses, and use only a mild soap. If she is itchy and bumpy, an otc Hydrocortisone may offer some relief. I recommend a professional wax for women who are sensitive to shaving or using nair in the bikini area.

Nair Skin burn: Options – use washcloth soaked in cold water or even ice water as a compress x 15 minutes. No not apply ice directly to skin. Petroleum based lubricants/ jellies/ lotions (aquaphor ointment, vaseline) can help to maintain moisture. Hydrocortisone cream can be applied for significant inflammation. For blistering – consult with your doctor.
