Rashes and marks due to hair removal
I have very thick hair on my legs which is causing me a lot of discomfort when I remove it(shaving/waxing). It grows back in a week and causes severe itching.
Due to this I have several small scabs and marks on my legs which im scared will scar.
Why is this happening and how do I avoid this?
