Infection coz of waxing
A month back I went thru bikini waxing, n then it causes rashes and itching and I have consulted a skin specialist but during the medication it gets controlled but then it again started... Please suggest me what to do know. I don't want to visit the same doctor... As she is based at Max Hospital and its v expensive.

You may be developing waxing folliculitis which is common problem in many after waxing a kind of bacterial infection. You can use fucidic acid based topical antibiotic over the lesion but it should be supervised by a doctor secondly I m just assuming a diagnosis by your details so you should also consult your nearest dermatologist for a proper diagnosis.
