Nair + Eczema = Bad

[Brightest After Dawn]

I just wanted to warn y'all about using Nair if you have eczema, even if it's dormant. I used it while my eczema was in a "retreating" phase and it came back real bad. It left a terrible pink mark there for a long time until I went on a trip to a warmer part of the world and the sun burned it off. I have only just fully recovered from it.

I have been fond of using it since it's relatively easy and close (especially for places like the hand, which can be awkward to shave) but I just wanted to say please, please, please be cautious using Nair if you have eczema, even if it's on the retreat. I don't want anyone having to go though what I did! (Especially since it was on the hand where clothing wouldn't cover it up, bleh)
