Hey there and many thanks for submitting the question. Before go any further, can I ask you what do you mean by hair removal? The cream is it? How much do you apply to your genital area and is there any skin abrasion or skin cut before you apply the hair removal cream? As far as I concern, I have never heard of applying the cream can cause any genital lesions except when using a method such as laser treatment causing skin burn or herpes simplex infections to the skin surfaces.

Please ensure you make an appointment for a consultation with local GP before begin any treatments to remove hair so that you can discuss any medical situations or other concerns with your doctor. People with a history genital herpes infections who are having pubic hair removal especially are advised to consume a course of anti viral treatment to prevent herpes outbreak.

In the same way, people who have a history of herpes simplex virus type 1 or known as oral herpes or having cold sores should also get a prescription of anti viral treatment as a preventative step before undergoing any treatment of hair removal. Herpes can cause the genital lesions and can spread to other person as you said. Do meet a doctor to get a proper management. Good luck!
