Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query mark leaving boils occurs on legs post waxing which is mainly because of increased sensitivity of your skin. Small red rashes are very common side effect after waxing. But as you have boils which leave rashes which is mainly because accumulation of hot wax at particular point which causes skin debridement and formation of boil.
I would suggest you apply astringent and aloevera gel lotion. Apply astrigent immediately after waxing to prevent rashes. Apply Caladryl lotion.
Avoid double dip application as it will cause exaggeration of your symptoms. Use ice packs and cold wash to wash legs immediately after waxing. On previously existing rashes apply coconut oil. It will fade away.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
