Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your history and description, it seems that you might have developed an irritant dermatitis to the bleach/ wax.
You could apply a mild steroid cream containing desonide for 3-5 days on the red patches. Apply twice a day after bath and at at bedtime.
Also use a moisturizer frequently.
You could develop the same allergy again if you use the same products. Hence, please make sure that you avoid the same products again.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
