waxing issue Options

[i_love_billie_jo...]

arrgh, really embaracing i dont know if this happens to anyone else, but whenever i wax my "downstairs" area i always get bumps and ingrown hairs and it goes red and very itchy then i have to sit there for hours tweezing out ingrown hairs beacuse nothing else works, and even then it dosnt all go away its really painfull and ugly. and same goes with shaving to. so i cant do anything about the hair!! do u guys know if this is because im allergic to the wax (although evrywhere else on my body is ok to wax)?? or im ..allergic to shaving..??( i shave everywhere else and its ok to)

sooo embaracing whenever im with a guy!!

where do you get waxed? is it at a salon or do you do it at home?

waxing should eliminate the problem of ingrown hairs because it pulls the entire root out. red bumps and irritation is normal since it's a very aggravating experience, especially if you have sensivite skin. if you do it a home, you maybe doing it wrong (i.e., pullling it out the wrong way). the skin is much more sensitive and the hair is much coarser at your pubic area; so even if it's okay every where else, the wax can effect your pubic area differently. try a sensitive skin solution or take a really warm shower to open the pores.

if it's at a salon, it might be because they aren't as clean as they should be. try a different salon and see what happens.

take good care post waxing by buying a after-wax treatment. it moisturizes the skin and nourishes it so it prevents irritation and ingrown hairs. http://www.sallyhansen.com/bd/5034_zero_bumps.cfm
