Hi. Recently I had visited a parlour for waxing. She used a chocolate based wax. Next day I realised there was lot of burning sensation in underarms n the entire portion is turned black. N there r lots of dark patches around. It's been a month now, the condition is just improved by 10%. Please suggest me how to get rid of it as it is very embarrassing.

It could be pigmentation as a result of an irritant reaction. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice. I cannot prescribe until I see the extent of the problem.
