Is there anything to help severe allergic reaction to hair removal cream?

I have really sensitive skin and for some reason stupidly used Sally Hansen's Hair Removal cream. I'm having a severe allergic reaction, it itches and hurts and my (white) skin is now almost purple. I've taken some Prednisone that i got last time i had a really bad reaction to poison ivy since this is so similar, but it's old and not doing any good. i also tried aloe but it's not any better. i cant go to the doctor because i dont have insurance.


Does anyone have a suggestion? Antihistamines? Even something natural like putting some kind of food on the skin??

OK some people have suggested that you put lotions and Vaseline on your legs. Please take my advice and don't the reason why is because Vaseline and lotions are like putting a thermal blanket over your skin particularly Vaseline it does not allow your skin to breath which is what your skin needs. You more then likely have a chemical burn from the product. When people think of burns they generally think of blisters and contacting a source of heat which is not always the case. You need to take a shower to make sure that you get all of the product off of your legs and allow nature to take its course. If they don't get better in a few days or get worse I hate to say it but you might have to visit the doctor.
Reply:basically all you can do it ride it out. stay away from lotion, but use vaseline to hydrate the skin. if it gets worse, then go to the doc. my legs did that too and i just slapped a whole bunch of vaseline on over night and in the morning they weren't nearly as bad.

I would recommend flushing your skin with a LOT of water.


Get in the bathroom now and start.





Good luck.

Reply:I have heard about someone who had an allergic reaction to Nair and they called the hotline and they told them to use a cold compress or a frozen bag of veggies on it until the swelling goes down. I don't really know what else you could besides call their hotline and see what they suggest. ?
