how to treat chemical burns?

Question: i put nair (the hair removal creme) on my forehead. i wanted to get the stray hairs out. i left on for like, 10 minutes. the hair is gone. but now my forehead is red and burning. i will not go to school tomorrow if forehead is still like this. i have neosporin and cocoa butter lotion; will either of these alleviate the redening? please advise asap. thank u, alexi.

Answers:
you could be having an allergic reaction to something in the product so you might want to take a benedryl. I would suggest putting the neosporin on it. the cocobutter could further irritate it if it is indeed a burn. the neo would provide some soothing and prevent it from getting infected. try not to touch the skin too much after you put it on which can cause further irritation.

Other Answers:
Use the cocoa butter and also you could try taking benedril to lower the reddening if its an alergic reaction type thing.

Try applying aloe vera gel over ur forehead generously. Its best if you can get fresh aloe vera. Mesh them n apply it all over it should take away the burn pretty fast.

I would suggest you try washin the area really well, if it persists, see a doctor.
