A member asked:
I was using nair and some of it got on my inner labia and now its a little swollen. do i use hydrocortisone/creams/ aloe vera gel etc. if its close to vaginal opening? if so what? and are there foods that reduce swelling when eaten?

Should resolve: Most likely it will resolve on its own without any treatment. Food is not going to help it. If the area looks infected or like there is a chemical burn have an Obgyn examine the area.
