I've often used this hair remover (much like Nair) called Epil-Stop. It's not only supposed to remove hair, but also retard hair regrowth the longer you use it. I've never had a problem using it on the hair "down there"... never had even the slightest bit of irritation. Well, today i opened a new bottle of the stuff, and within a minute of putting it on, i felt like my skin was on fire! I jumped in the tub and immediately rinsed it off, but the pain got so bad I actually started to cry (and I'm not a big crier!). It burned the skin off in some places. I haven't even been able to put aloe on it because I tried that and it stung like hell (so badly that I almost threw up and burst into tears again). The only thing that I found to put on the burned parts (which is pretty much just the two "bikini lines" since i hadn't gotten a chance to put it anywhere else before it started burning) was Neosprorin, but the only thing that really controls the pain is ice. I can't even sit comfortably, and i can't wear any clothes on my lower half.
I can't imagine that this is some sort of allergic reaction since I've used this stuff many times before and nothing at all has ever happened even after leaving it on for like 20 minutes to a half hour... even as recently as about a week ago. The only thing I can think of is that there's something really wrong with this new bottle of the stuff, but there was nothing that I could see was wrong with the safety seal, and it's no where near close to the expiration date.
Has this ever happened to anyone else, and does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with it or have an estimate on how long it will take to heal? I can't even walk without a lot of pain, and those two strips of skin look like raw meat... red, swollen and small patches of missing skin (oh my God, it looks like I have some hideous disease!).
