I used Veet hair removal cream on my private parts and after a few minutes, the hair started coming off, but now the area is a bit painful and has a red rash. What should I do about this?

I've been getting a lot of red spots on my body and they're super itchy. I've tried some home remedies, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or a skin condition such as eczema or hives. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) to help with the itching and redness. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
