Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Little redness i.e erythema and dryness is always possible after procedures like waxing.
To prevent that from happening, you can apply a hydrocortisone cream followed by a good moisturizing cream after waxing for next 2-3 days.
Additionally cold compresses can also help in alleviating redness post-waxing.
Hope the answer was useful.
Thanks
