Irritation from Smooth Razorless Hair Removing Creme

Dear MD,

A couple of weeks ago, I used the Smooth Razorless Hair Removing Creme made by Softsheen Carson. I followed the directions carefully before using it and was quite satisfied with the close shave. A few days later, as my hair started to grow back, my skin scalp started to be irritated and developed some bumps on the back of my head. I never had bumps prior to using this product. Today, my skin is sore and I’m afraid of shaving at all. The bumps are still there and they feel sore.

What should I do?

If you’re experiencing a skin irritation after using this product, I’d suggest you stop using it. I don’t have any particular experience with this hair removing creme, but if the skin condition persists you should see a dermatologist.
