Nair?

I am almost 6weeks pp and am getting really tired of having hair around my incision. It is extremely itchy!

I realize I shouldn't shave over the incision but would a hair removal product like nair be okay?

Nair irritates my skin but I did get a bikini wax around 5 weeks pp and before my 6 week pp check up. I get regular waxes and didn't have an issue waxing over the incision at that point.

At 6 weeks out I lightly shaved around/over the area. I didn't have any problems.

Nair would make me nervous since it's chemical and can burn sensitive skin. I would be hesitant to use it around the incision. Maybe it wouldn't be a problem, it's just not something I'd want to try. I did lightly shave right around 6 weeks pp and had no problems.
