Man, 26, in hospital burns unit after 'intimate' injuries caused by using Veet hair removal cream on groin 📅 1 de noviembre de 2024 ✍️ By Mark Landry ⏱️ 4 Mins Read 🗂️ Blog 🕒 Last updated: 5 de noviembre de 2024 📌 Tags:William Bishop Property developer William Bishop, 26, suffered chemical burns to his groin after he applied Veet hair removal designed for body and legs before a dateA man from Cheltenham has spent several weeks in hospital after an accident caused chemical burns to his groin area. William Bishop, 26, was getting ready for a first date when he decided to use Veet hair removal cream on his private parts. Unfortunately he left the substance, designed for the body and legs, on for double the recommended time. Huge blistering open wounds developed on his testicles two days on, so William decided to go to A&E. The property developer was admitted to the burns unit so doctors could repeatedly burst the blisters, The Mirror reports (warning: graphic images). He said: "I was getting ready for a date that night, so I decided to get prepared - just in case anything good happened. "This wasn't the first time I was going to use Veet, though. I'd used the product around six months earlier, and that went absolutely fine. "So I applied the hair removal cream to my lower half. I left it on for around 10 minutes, and it felt rather sore when I took it off. "Potentially I left it on for longer than I should have, as I was applying it to a larger area. "I didn't think much of the stinging to start, but it got increasingly worse - and it wasn't until two days later that I saw it had burned a hole in my crotch. William could be in hospital for five weeks while the blisters are treated (Image: William Bishop /SWNS.COM) "For two weeks now, I've been in the hospital burns unit. It's been extremely painful because of where it is. I can barely walk, sleep, or sit. "Hospital staff have been treating the wound, and done everything they can to minimise infection - though it's still pretty bad. "They have been daily cleaning and dressing it, and have applied a cooling cream. "Cleaning is the worst part, though, as they like the blisters to burst. "I can't really do anything here. I'm really hoping to be released soon." William used Veet's Body and Legs Hair Removal Cream - not Veet Men Hair Removal Cream or the sensitive variety for 'bikini lines' - on July 27. Southmead Hospital in Bristol He said he coated the area with a spatula and left it for around than 10 minutes - more than the recommended three to six minutes. He ought to have removed a small test area of cream after three minutes and removed the rest of the hair if it had come away easily. Instead, William left the product on his groin for 10 minutes, then removed the cream and rinsed with lukewarm water. Two days later, he was shocked to find that he was in blistering pain - and that the cream had burned an open wound into his left testicle. William was admitted to the burns unit in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, that day, where his infected wound has to be treated for five weeks. He can barely walk, sit, or sleep because of it and has had to postpone his date until he is better. William confessed: "I didnt know there was a men's bottle.

"The pain and discomfort it has caused is far from funny. "I guess I've formed a kind of anger towards Veet. "But I'm also shocked that such bad injury can occur from a product readily available.
