Hello,
My dear scientifically there is no relation with having your monthly cycles and waxing.
The redness in the concerned area can be due to pulling force during waxing.
Dont worry. Have a cold shower and apply plain calamine lotion.
In addition apply fucibet cream twice a day for 5 days.
Do not apply makeup on that area.
Take Care
Regards
Dr.Sidhu
