I used some Nair on my legs this evening and within an hour one side of my neck has came out in a rash! What do you suggest that I do?

    If I get a rash I usually use some bite and sting cream on it and take an antihistamine (sp?) tablet, usually does the job. Just try not to scratch it as it will only make it worse, putting something cold on it like you are doing should help to ease the urge to itch it

    Hope it dies down :)

    Diprobase works as well.

    Anything for insect bites and stings should help.

    If it spreads any further or you start to feel ill you should seek medical attention.

    I know it sounds daft but make sure you've washed off anything that may be left of what you've used, this time just with water.
