Donating YT 11K Club Member | Bad reaction to a cream...help! I used one of my bf's sisters whitening cream that was in the bathroom for a scar i have on my upper leg. The next day I woke up to to my inner thighs red, and a rash everywhere! I put hydrogen perozide to clean it and calamine lotion, and nothing. It's still red and and its been a day and a half. Help! It also itches a lot!

maybe ice pack, benadryl or aloe lotion. You can get benadryl in lotion or as an oral med. ... good luck

| I agree, I had a bad reaction to under eye cream by Neutrogena, who would have thought that would cause a problem, under my eyes to my cheek bone were swollen, red, dry, and itched, it looked awful, I used benedry as well and vaseline, nothing helped and it got worse I finally saw a doc and took some type of combo pack, cortisone and prednisone, or something like that but the dermatologists all know it. It cleared it up but now I have a sensitivity there so I have to be extra careful

| oh for scars there is this product that is like a soft silicone patch, it comes in large sheets you wear it for about 10 hours a day and it really gets rid of scares, some physical therapy places have it for people that have had surgery. they will usually cut you a piece the size you need and you put it on with some type of surgical tape. you wash it with warm sudsy water every day and it can last for many months. I have used it several time and it really works great.

| A lot of creams and liniments are made to soak in a bit and it takes something like repeated application of oliver oil or mineral oil to clean the residue from the area. Apply it liberally and then wipe off with a cloth and repeat 2 or 3 times very gently rubbing it off. Some creams & things are designed to have little response to soap & water and only an oil base will penetrate and remove the product. A trip to the doc or ER wouldn't hurt if the reaction is really bad.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | Thanks, yes it is soo bad. I havent gone to the dermo because i dont have one, a lot of them don't take my insurance. I might have to go to the ER. The area is swollen, super itchy, hurts, it now hurts to walk. Its on both legs, upper thighs. This is the worst! Good thing the doc. is 3 blocks away

| I hope you are at the ER by now! Only thing to make it worse is to keep itching and make it infected.

Thanks for the help Now i am going to ask my bf's sister, why the heck does she have that cream?!! lol it's super bad!
