Hi all,
I had my back waxed (I'm female but conscious of the hair on it). It was done 10 days ago and my whole back is covered in red raised bumps or spots. At what point does a reaction to the waxing become foliculitis and how long should I leave it, if it doesn't go away before seeing my GP?
I've never had a reaction like this on any other areas of my body, although this was the first time I'd had this particular area waxed.
Also, if I continue to get it done, is there some preparation or aftercare that I should follow in future to hopefully prevent this happening again?
And one final question (sorry!) I am due to have a massage in three days, is it still OK for me to have this?
Thank you,
Lucy x
