Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I have read your description and understand your concern. What problems you are facing is probably allergic reaction of the skin following waxing. Kindly do the following to overcome the problem. 1. Wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily. 2. After drying, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the area. 3. Wear loose clothes and avoid friction in the affected area. 4. Kindly use medicated soap following waxing for bathing everyday. Gradually, your lesions should subside and heal well. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
