Rashes after wax
I end up having rashes on my arms and areas near my elbow after waxing .. Nothing ahead of that area.. These rashes grow upto Tiny blister and then end up leaving dark spots. I tried all sorts of waxing, honey wax, Italian wax, Argan oil wax, but everything has a same effect. What should I do?
