NakedOnMyChain -> It Burns Us!!! (11/9/2007 11:07:02 PM)

I would like you all to know that I said the subject line in my very, very best Gollum voice. Though I suppose I'm the only one who knows how well that worked. Anyway, onward to my actual query, which is inane enough merit the most randomly stupid of the random stupidity.
In preparation for a large open play party in Indianapolis tomorrow evening I partook in the girlie ritual of removing hair from every part of my body I could reach. (Yes, I know you really didn't want to know that. Too bad.) I typically use the Nair facial cream for sensitive skin on the fine hairs above my eyebrows. I'm weird about body hair. It is evil and must have strenuous war posed against it on at least a weekly basis. However, as I lay in the bathtub and allowed the Nair to work its magic, I became engrossed in a wonderful fantasy epic novel by Jim Butcher and lost track of the time. It stayed on quite a bit longer than it should have. When I took it off I realized that the area where it had been applied was a lovely shade of crimson that would make the most boiled lobster proud. Fortunately it isn't a large area, just a very painful strip that burns immensely. I immediately washed the last traces of Nair off and used Aveeno sensitive skin lotion that tames redness on the affected area. It helped quite a bit and it now it merely looks like I'm mildly sunburned. You really can hardly tell, especially if I put makeup on. However, it burns like the fiery pits of hell and I'd like to do something about it.
So, after that hilarious and hilariously long-winded anecdote, what would you recommend as a short term solution to a mild chemical burn?
Oh, by the way, you are allowed and even encouraged to laugh at me.
