Girls, red bumps on legs after wax?

[Anonymous]

I've waxed my legs and armpit today but red bumps occurred.. why? How can I treat them?

Irritation of the hair follicle/pours occurred. You can try lotion but I feel it's best to just keep it clean with soap and give it a day or 2 to settle down

Soap gives me burning sensation..

Yeah your skin is irritated, but you have to keep the area clean to prevent any sort of infections. My friend right now started using coconut oil to shave her legs and her skin is so irritated from it and she's got what looks like pimples all over her legs and they look infected because she just picks at them and doesn't keep her skin clean.

It's razor burn. You could put some cooling moisturiser on it? Other than that you have to wait until it heals unfortunately.

Ohhh some irritations sustain very long..

You can use baby powder
Or fucidine
