Oohh thanks. I think my daughter has some tea tree oil. Will pinch it from her. Pants are off!
It's 3 strips of really sore skin. The one at the top goes across the way, so it must have been several strips together which made it, as I certainly don't remember her stripping it off sideways (which I know you shouldn't do) The others are strips along the groin/upper thigh. It's never happened before, although I've only had this area waxed maybe 6 times over the years. Each time it's been fine by the next day.
It isn't a burn, as the wax was a nice temperature when it went on. It feels like a burn though, really hot and sore. There is no obvious torn area, I think it is that there are a few layers of skin missing! The weeping is coming from over the whole red skin area.
Thanks for your responses! and sympathy!

tea tree oil is fab hun but put three to four drops into your bath with a cup of milk otherwise u are gonna sting sting and it is a rather strong essential oil, plus a warm (not hot) bath will clean the area with the help of the tea tree oil and soothe your soreness so much.
By the sound of what your describing i would take photos of the area and make a complaint hun. I am not a person to complain and in any waxing servise things do happen, but by what you are describing the therapist has repeatedly gone over the same areas. Because she has not cleansed the area or applied an oil to your skin hun, and literally waxed and waxed to remove the hairs,(more than likely she could not get them all out , so rather than stoping , assesing and more than likely grabbing tweezers she has just carried on. By constantly going over an area with wax and strips, she has not only removed hair but she has removed skin. Because she has removed skin ouch and not cleaned the area or anything u have now got an infection, which is ether in your folicles or through damage to the main structure of your skin.
Like lou lou said u need to go to your doctors hun for a course of antibiotics or antibiotic cream. In the mean time as lou suggested tea tree is a great antiseptic so put in a cool bath and have a nice soak. Making sure to completly dry the area after and if u can put nothing re-strictive on and to allow air to your wounds.
This therapist obiously is either extremly stupid or has not even qualified and has no awareness off the dangers and problems that can be caused from waxing. Yes accidents happen that some times are out of our control but this is beyond a joke.
I hope u get better soon hun, my heart goes out to u it really does and if u would like any help putting a letter of complaint together i and am sure many other on here will be more then happy to help. This therapist has gone against every rule in the book, i now it feels like a burn, which to be honest it will, a bit like when you have really grazed your knee, only difference here is they have given u an infection at the same time through neglect of hygiene, application, removale the works. uh it makes me soooo mad that people like this are allowed to continue to work. They either want banning from the industry or made to go on more training. sorry hun, me going on is not going to help , take care chic xxxx
