I'm so fed up.. I'm also very sad and could really use some professional help and advice.
After a year of waxing regularly i still have so many issues. I really don't want to go back to shaving. My body hair causes me a lot of stress in life. I have had acne and bad skin my whole life and now I'm also dealing with a body hair issue. It's getting tiring..
When shaving, my hair started growing back within hours and I always had a 5 o'clock shadow. I would be shaving my skin raw during the summers. So i started waxing and it seemed amazing but...
1. I have ingrowns only on my bikini area. Nowhere else on my body. I never even got ingrowns from shaving. I have stopped waxing that area and let the hair grow back so I could start treating it, all the proper ways.
I still have some ingrowns and Red marks that just won't go away after 2 months or more of not shaving or waxing. At first it didn't seem like I had any ingrowns. But once I started letting it grow out the ingrowns started coming up.
I recently waxed a small portion of my bikini area so I could wear
Shorts. This area wasnt susceptible to the ingrowns and issues I have been having.
In this area, now there are no ingrowns but each hair has a red flat mark attach to it. Makes it look like an ingrown. But it's not raised.
2. My hair starts growing back in less then a week. Even right after waxing I can still see a five o'clock shadow. Not near as bad as when i shaved. Hence why I started waxing because you could always see my hair, even right after shaving.
If the hair is getting pulled out, root and all. How can I still see hair under the skin!??
3. My skin has got a lot dryer since waxing. Not sure if it's related. But I never had dry body skin.
4. You can see marks where each hair was pulled now on my legs and never used to before. You know those marks you can see on some peoples legs. Well my legs used to be just smooth. Now I can see those marks.
Is my body just designed not to be waxed!? I feel like I'm having all and then some of the side effects of waxing... pls anyone?
