Do hair removal creams such as "Nair" & "Veet" cause skin cancer?


Do hair removal creams such as "Nair" & "Veet" cause skin cancer?

No, but you should still be aware of the following problems with chemical dipilatory creams like these :

Allergic reactions - can be severe enough to cause anaphilaxis and death. Be sure to do a 24 hour spot test before spreading it everywhere. Look for signs like swelling or trouble breathing. If you don't have any problems your good to go.

Burns- if you leave these products on past the reccomended time, you may get chemical burns. Usually not a problem unless you have sencitive skin.

Rashes - rashes can occur, be sure to wash of the product thoroughly to help prevent rashes and other types of skin irritation.
