Chem burn: Sensitive are of course, and appears you got a chemical burn. You can try soothing creams like aloe to help, and if it looks infected, you may need a dr. to look at it and rx an antibiotic cream like silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) which would help too. Best wishes.

Inflammatory respons: NOt sure what Veet is, but when you remove hair from your body you can have a localized reaction of inflammation and possibly a case of folliculitis which may require antibiotics. If an over the counter cortisone cream does not help within one to two applications, you should see an MD.
