You left it on too long slighly burning your skin. If it does not hurt then it actually might be gone by tomorrow evening. If it does hurt, then it will be still there tomorrow and you would have to cover it with some concealer But, no matter what it should be gone in no later than 2 days...

Sorry to say that a rash from Nair or Veet could last up to a week - or more! Put a cold compress on it - an ice pack with a towel wrapped around it will work. This might help with the redness and burn. DO NOT put lotion or ANYTHING but water on it.
I used Nair and Veet for 6 years and just last fall I became allergic to it and ended up with an infected rash - not pretty. You will probably not be able to use it again. Bummer!

Two choices of irriation are allergic reaction or irriation of hair follicles. Ice packs may help the burning feeling. May not go completely away, but try some over the counter hydrocortizone, ask a pharmacist for the best brand. As always, when in doubt, check with your physician.

Either you have sensitive skin or you left it on too long. I would use hydrocortiznone cream to reduce the rashing it usually works pretty good and quickly get the extra strenght.

You either left it on too long or had a scratch. Also you should not rub it off with a towel. Rubbing causes the area to redden.Use some vaseline, it will help.

Make sure you don't use it again. The rash will heal itself don't worry about that.
