How To Prevent Dark Skin Spots After Waxing?
Hi, I waxed my side burns yesterday. Today a small brown spot has shown up. It is not irritated or itchy, just the same texture of my skin but darker. I am worried that it will never go away. what is this and how did it happen. I have been waxing my face for several years and this has never happened. I am Indian, 24 year female.

Hi.
As per your case history of wax dermatitis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice after waxing.
2. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
3. Apply a kojic acid cream like kojivit twice daily on dark skin.
Thanks.
