Chemical burn to Nair on my vagina?

I swear this isn't a troll question right now but im looking for some advice if anyone here men or women have used the cream hair remover Niar? I had a little sample packet of this Nair stuff and nowhere on the packet does it say that you cannot use it to remove hair in your "private" area, it just says "softly removes body hair for a soft finish" or something along those lines. I used it on my vagina, I didn't put it near my vagina hole and none of it went inside my vagina, everything was fine at first it didn't burn or sting so I figured it would be okay, I washed it off and it removed the hair very well and then 30 minutes later the area I had used it on became very itchy burning and slightly stinging I checked and I have red bumps everywhere!!! The whole area is just red it doesn't even look like a rash anymore it literally looks like my whole skin down there is red, I have no experience with cream hair removers does this sound serious that I should see a doctor tomorrow? Or will it go away in a few days?

  • You should definitely see a doctor. It sounds to me like your having some sort of reaction to the product. For immediate relief one of these remedies
    1. Vanilla (Helps with burns and other inflammation and sensitivity)
    2. 1-2 drops Lavender essential oil per TB of coconut oil or Olive oil
    3. Apple cider Vinegar (Apply with a cotton swab and dab gently).
    Do NOT use any of these if you have an open wound/ if the rash starts to bleed.
    --Good Luck!

  • I've made this mistake before. Be sure to clean out the area around your vagina. It can get a bacterial infection if you leave it their of if their is left over product because the skin might have been burned or scratched off. When it happened to me I was told by my doctor to just keep it clean so I'm not sure about putting aloe or anything on it. If it gets worse within a day or two please see a doctor!! Hope it gets better :)

  • When you use Nair on pubic hair you need to buy the formula specifically for the bikini area. That's why it says NOT to use it in that area. That's also why it says use it for 10 minutes not 15...

    Go soak in some cold water and take a Benadryl in case it's an allergic reaction. You can use the time to ruminate on why it's important to follow directions on boxes.

  • I use that when I want to be smooth... it burned a little when I left it on a little to long.. but I have a very High pain threshold. I didn't have any bumps... maybe a reaction. 30 minutes is very long.. I think the label say no more than 10mins on the bottle I have? If you have sensitive skin I think that would be the norm if you use it.. it a chemical remover so it has to be strong enough to remove the hair.

  • Did you wipe it off after 10 minutes? You are not supposed to use Nair for more than 10 minutes otherwise your skin will burn. It happened to me (I use it on my ears sometimes - that's what happens to me when they get old.).

    It may hurt for another week or so, but you will be fine. You want to use Nair on areas of skin that are not sensitive and DO NOT USE FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES...

    • I left it on for roughly 15 minutes maybe a little longer , thank you for letting me know that! I didn't see on the packet it saying a time limit but it would make sense

    • I don't know what Nair you used, but you should have used this one:
      www.naircare.com/.../Nair-Bikini-Cream-Sensitive-Formula
      Nair Bikini Cream Sensitive Formula
      APPLY
      Smooth on a thick, even layer to cover hair.
      DO NOT RUB IN.
      Wash your hands immediately after applying.
      WIPE
      Wait 6 minutes.
      Check a small area for hair removal. If your hair is thick, you may need more time.
      (DON’T LEAVE ON LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES.)
      RINSE
      Gently wipe off the cream and hair with a damp washcloth. DON’T RUB!
      Once all hair has been removed, rinse skin thoroughly with lukewarm water.
      Pat dry and you’re good to go!

  • There are specific nairs for YOUR vagina! It was probably too strong, I would cool it with a damn cloth and put polysporin on it or something. Its just raw skin

  • As you e found out never use nair on your lady parts. Use coconut oil on it each day to sooth the burns

  • It should go away in a few days. I've had that happen a few times and it didn't even take the hair off! Basically I'm allergic to it so I stopped using it.

  • Since you put it on the outside it was on your labia majora, or outer lips. That is part of your vulva. Your vagina is inside so if you put any in there it is going to do very bad damage.

    It sounds like you did not completely wast it off. If even a little remained, it will keep on working and will burn the skin.

  • You can't use nair on your vagina.

  • It sounds like you had a allergic reaction to it. If it doesn't feel better soon I'd see a Dr

  • It's a chemical burn. Not sure how serious it is. Yes you should probably see a doctor tomorrow and let him/her determine how serious it is. Please let this be a lesson to everyone else. Nair is bad news.

  • I use Nair on my privates all the time and I have had redness and itchiness before, but that was only when I left it on too long. So I'm guessing that you left it on too long. I leave it on for about 3 - 5 mins. The directions on the bottle do tell you how long you should keep it on.

  • i used this before​ it made me a little itchy but i think u should go to the doc

  • It sounds like you may of used "Nair Sensitive" because on the original Nair it states very clearly that you cannot use it on your private area, I would suggest you go to the doctor tomorrow if possible just to make sure it doesn't get infected my friend used Nair on his buttcrack and the same thing happened although I know some people who have used it on their private area and nothing has happened but if you have a reaction like that then yes its probably wise to get it checked
