If you have noticed red bumps after waxing, then you are probably suffering from folliculitis. This happens because the waxing process causes irritation of the hair follicles, leading to inflammation. The waxing treatment removes the whole hair, even down to the root below the skin surface. However, even though this hair removal treatment is highly effective, if the wax is too hot, or the skin is already sensitive, then folliculitis can occur.
Folliculitis falls into two types. Superficial folliculitis manifests as groups of small red bumps or blisters filled with pus, with skin inflammation that feels extremely sore, itchy and tender. Deep folliculitis consists of larger sores with pus-filled blisters, often very painful, which may leave scars as the infection heals.
As for prevention, if you already have sensitive or sunburned skin, it is better to avoid waxing altogether. If you have undergone a waxing treatment, do not wear tight, rough material such as jeans, or lycra outfits over the waxed area. In fact, avoid anything that may cause friction or rub the skin of the waxed area. Laser hair removal may be a better alternative method, as it is does not usually lead to folliculitis.
Home remedies that can be tried include the application of a warm compress to the waxed area several times a day, which should soothe the inflamed skin. Oatmeal lotions, over the counter hydrocortisone creams or antibiotic ointment, and antibacterial soap are other options that could be tried. If you have to shave the waxed area, it would be wise to use an electric razor, applying soothing lotion afterwards.
Mild attacks of folliculitis may clear up by themselves without treatment or by using home remedies. However, sometimes the infection may spread, or the pain may increase. In this instance, medical assistance should always be sought, as some form of medication may be required, usually in the form of a course of antibiotics.
However, where hair removal is concerned, if a common sense approach is followed, then folliculitis can be avoided or at least controlled, even by using home folliculitis treatments.
