It's not meant for the genital area. You may have given yourself an infection. Wait a few more days, then if it doesn't get better, make an appointment with your ob/gyn.
Next time shave, wax, or get a hair remover that's meant for the genitals.

There is definately a reason why Nair for legs is not meant for the vaginal area, the chemicals are stronger for the legs because it is a less sensitive area. If you used the legs version on your pubes, you need to be careful because the hairs will become ingrown and infected you should wear only cotton loose fitting underwear so the area can breathe and use a topical cream or gel like Bacitracin. If you used the bikini area and its gummy then wash it off with hot water, if that doesn't work take a hot bath and try gently scrubbing with a washcloth and mild soap like Ivory.

I just tried it the other day, actually...but it was specifically for the bikini area. I know it was kinda sticky after I used it, but it was better after I showered. If you have already showered, than I would suggest calling the 800 number and asking one of their customer service reps. Good luck.

did you read the directions, does it not say NOT to use near that area. it will pass, but if it doesn't go to the doctor. you just got a loose meat sandwich that's all

It's not nice to mess with Mother Nature.
