Veet!

Does anyone know the proper First Aid for a bad reaction to hair remover?

I tried out a bit of my lower leg and I was fine.  But my thighs broke out in pain and red bumps.

Help!

benadryl pills and cortizone cream (or benadryl cream...much the same thing)

Thanks, ladies.

I've taken an Allegra (since I'd like to be awake for my own wedding) and put some lotion and a cold pack on the area. My RN Mom suggested the ice.

It's helped a lot.

I will take a Benedryl and use the cream when we get back from the Court House if I'm still having a bad reaction.

Good luck w/ the wedding and the chem burn. It wouldn't be a wedding without an interesting back story!

sometimes I put a bit of baking soda and water on a chemical burn. Very soothing. Think I picked that up from my dad.
