A member asked:

I used nair has been 3hours stings burns and is red blotchy rash breaking out i used ice did not help hoe can i relieve the pain and redness???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reaction: This appears to be both a primary irritation as well as a possible allergic reaction to the NAIR. Take an antihistamine like benadryl(causes drowsiness) or Claritin; apply a cortisone type cream also. If severe redness spreads, or fever develops, have your physician examine and treat you.
