Ever since I used Veet hair removal cream on my bikini area a few weeks back, my vagina's been feeling really inflamed and irritated. Things improved a bit once the hair grew back, but now I'm still super itchy around the outer labia at night, even though everything seems normal during the day with no weird discharge. I'm trying hard not to scratch so I don't make it worse, but it's really messing with my sleep. What should I do?

Immediate Relief: a. Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce itching and inflammation. b. Use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream sparingly to alleviate irritation.

Hygiene and Care: a. Avoid using any scented products or harsh soaps in the area. b. Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear to minimize irritation.

When to Seek Medical Advice: a. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider. b. Watch for signs of infection, such as unusual discharge or increased redness.

Preventive Measures: a. Consider patch testing new products on a small skin area before full application. b. Opt for hypoallergenic products designed for sensitive skin in the future.
