Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You have developed an allergic reaction to the material used in waxing,

Dont worry there wont be any scarring.

Apply a mild steroid lotion like desonide,

Also take an antihistamine tablet.

This will give you some relief.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
