Chemical burn: You may use silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) cream or topical antibiotics

That hurts: Nair can cause a chemical burn. Different times in your cycle may make your skin more sensitive. It may have been left on a little too long. Keep area clean. You can try ice, sun burn creams ( aloe with numbing), zinc oxide such as diaper rash creams. There are prescription creams for burns. Watch that your skin does not get infected. Any changes see a doctor

Burn from NAIR: 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) or aloe can help to maintain moisture. Hydrocortisone cream 1 % can be applied for significant inflammation. For blistering – consult with your doctor.
