Acne after waxing facial hair

Question

Asked for Female, 25 Years

I have had my facial hair waxed for the first time. After two weeks I started to see pimples around the waxed area (chin and cheeks). I has been more than a month and they are hurting. Is it possible to cure them or they last for the rest of my life.

Based on your description it looks like a wax folliculitis which is a common condition. Sometimes they co-exist with fungal folliculitis and can be determined with more precision during a consultation. Kindly consult a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and treatment plan. It is also important to prevent their relapse once you have got it cured. You can opt for laser hair reduction in future.

Next Steps

Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
