What Causes Red Bruising On The Back Of The Thigh Upon Waxing?
yesterday I was diagnosed with possible shingles on the back of the upper left thigh. I don t have pain but its red and there is no vesicles or pus pockets. On June 9th I had waxing done on both legs from the bikini line to the toes. I really believe that it is not shingles. Ever since the waxing my legs have not felt the same. When i get goose bumps my legs are tender. it is really strange. what could it be?

Hello thank you for writing us here.
Obviously its not shingles because is very painful and associated with fever.
Possibly, its a rash. Waxing and going out in sun could cause this rash.
I would suggest you to put ice on it. No need for unnecessary medicines.
It would be alright in a week or so.
God bless you.
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
