shaving
i bought the veet razorless thing and i used it last thursday and it gave me a few red pimples on my legs and it also made them burn. so today i decided to try it again and this time, it made them burn even more and now i have a lot of red pimples on my legs. i put neosporin on them but that doesn't seen to help very much, so does anyone know what to put on them to make the pimples go away and how long it would take for them to go away even without putting anything on them? thanks so much!

it sounds like you have an allergic reaction to the veet. i would stop using it. the rash should just go away in a day. hope this helps =]

i would suggest going back to using a regular razor. i recommend the venus razor. for the pimples on your legs you can try putting witch hazel on them. witch hazel is a type of astringent for your face & body. you can find it in most drug stores near the rubbing alcohal. i put this on my legs everytime after i shave and it leaves them very smooth and witch hazel is also very soothing and can help take the pain away even from sunburn!

Yeah it depends on how much hair you had on your legs and how long you put it on. It can burn your skin. Maybe you're allergic to it.
I've looked up on reviews. You're one of those people that get a bad reaction out of it. I suggest trying something new.
It's like razorburn. Don't put neosporin on it. As you know, it doesn't help.
Just wait for your legs to heal, putting anything on your legs will irritate it a lot more. It will take a few days up to a week. (From my experience) I don't know about you though.

You're basically using a product that uses chemicals to dissolve your hair so you can wipe it off "razorless". I'll give a fair bet that whatever chemicals that are in the product are irritating your skin. Consider this: Veet Razorless, Nair, and other products of the sort can DISSOLVE HAIR. Maybe it could severely irritate, if not destroy, your skin?
My advice? STOP using it, NOW. Just think of the burning sensation and the redness as your skin screaming for mercy.
Depending on how fast your skin heals, I would guess that it might take a week for the redness to go away. Just keep your skin clean and you shouldn't have any problems.
