Itchy bumps after waxing
Hi, I have developed red itchy bumps on arms and behind knee after getting waxing done
It is really itchy and I'm not sure how to treat it.
It's day 3 after the waxing and the itchyness has increased.
Can anyone please help how to get rid of this.
Thanks

This is waxing induced folliculitis and it can b associated with allergic dermatitis also leading to itching. It can b coz of the wax per se or the waxing procedure which causes trauma to the skin. Consult a Dermatologist for the same to prevent further progression of the lesions.
