Rashes and itching post body waxing
On the 5th of this month I opted for a full body waxing (Rica wax) and after two days there was immense itching and the back is filled with rashes and eruption where as front has very few rashes with no inching. I immediately called up the beautician and sent here the pictures of the rashes on which she told me apply astringent but that didn't help.
To be on a safer side I did take my usual allergy medicine Allegra120 and I don't remember eating anything that can cause the rashes and inching.
Please help me out on this doctor, as I don't wish it to continue to stay on my body any longer and leave any kind of marks.

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.
