but when i got home, i applied some HYDROCORTISONE CREAM, a generic brand, and i am MUCH REDDER and it burns and i don't know what to do!!!! my electrologist told me to keep applying it to get the redness down - should i wash it off? wait it out? keep using it? i am freaking out, any help would be greatly appreciated --

Answer
Have you used hydrocortisone cream before? I'm wondering if you are having a reaction to the cream.
I really like 100% Aloe Vera Gel (no green or blue stuff - just the clear formula) for my clients' aftercare proceedure.
