What Are The Side Effects Of Waxing?
Some time ago I tried an at home wax of my bikini line. I got one side done and stopped. There was some bleeding when the hair came out. Now that side only itches and not all the hair has grown back. It looks a bit dry. I ve tried anti itch creams and lotions but nothing helps.

Repeated trauma like waxing is going to cause dry skin, irritated skin and of course the hairs are going to come back as it is not a permanent way of hair removal. Use a mild topical steroid like desowen cream for now till the rash subsides. And consider laser hair removal rather than waxing: this will help you a lot
