Burned from over the counter hair remover

I am unsure if you used a device, or a topical product. Most likely you need to see a physician because care depends on the type and severity of the burn you have. Sometimes OTC products can work, but often, for burns, especially on the face, a prescription steroid is necessary. It's just best to see a physician.
