i found this site after googling “depilatory burn” because i’m in my second day of a chemical burn from veet. i bough it because it came with the plastic squeegee thing that scrapes the cream and hair off of your legs, and because it came in a pump, not the tube. it worked great the first time i did it, but this time was terrible. my skin was very dry as it always is in the winter, and i’m not sure if the stuff i had was too old, or if i left it on past the 3 minutes (was watching the clock so i doubt that) but my legs, especially behind my knees, are on fire. after looking online it appears to be 2nd degree burns. i’m putting cold compresses on them, using neosporin and keeping it clean, but it hurts a lot, and i’m miserable. tylenol is helping. but from now on i am just going to go slowly and go back to razors. a nick here and there isn’t nearly as bad as this!
