bumps on face after waxing

after waxing i got a reaction red bumps in my face.. what can i do to get red bumps go away?

You might want to try an after waxing antibacterial formula? I'm not sure I would use soap though, it is pretty drying on your skin.

Hello, These bumps are due to folliculitis or irritated hair follicles after shaving/ waxing. After shaving or waxing, apply cold compresses(ice cubes wrapped in a towel) on the rash and take some antihistaminic like benadryl or claritin. You can also apply calamine lotion on the rash.It will help in soothing the skin.A mild corticosteroid cream like dermacort will also help. Also you can go in for laser hair removal which causes permanent reduction of hair and does not cause folliculitis also.

The recipe contained brown sugar lemon juice and water. I waxed around my chin area and upper lip. After waxing within the 3 days after I developed red bumps in those areas. I am not sure if you can consider it rosacea or not. I have had acne prone skin for my whole life but recently got over it, so I am not stressed and worried as my skin is no longer clear. The bumps are very close together and feel very rough, they are also quite sore.

with a little time or should I wax my face? Will waxing cause a regrowth and will it be darker hair that will regrow? Any suggestions?

I got these bumps on my lips, down there. They showed up about 3 weeks ago when all my hair started growing back in from my previous waxing. I thought they were ingrown hairs so i waited for them to come to a head. Well they havent. I tryed popping them, they feel just like a pimple. some puss and blood came out but no hair. There deep just in the lip, just like a deep pimple on the face. there are 2 big ones and now all my hair is grown in.

First of all i have spots on my face and i'm 18 years old so i guess they are acne and they leave scars on my face.......also on my arms and back......besides black holes which i don't know how to get rid of and when i empty those they form holes on my skin......so finally i have scars and holes which really makes me look bad and outdoor activity turns me black.the sun affects my skin badly and my hands are totally a different color compared to my body.

Ok its like every time i shave with a razor i get hair bumps some be medium some be small i dont like hair down there and idk if waxing safe during pregnacy. Do any mothers have know what can i use to shave my hair?? Or is waxing safe??

I even left it on for an extra amount of time. Waxing is also no good. I have not tried professional waxing, but the at-home kits I have tried have been unsuccessful like the Nair and Veet. I have mostly been tweezing and shaving it, but this causes more problems. I have ingrown hairs and red bumps, and the black hairs can still be seen beneath my skin. I have no clue what I can do. I have thought about seeing a dermatologist, but I'm not sure what they could do for me.

I am 21 and since I was 19 around November 2015, 8 started having this skin issue on my upper cheek bones like under my eyes but on top of my cheek bones I would say its ontop of the zygomatic/ Malar bone. It started on both sides of my face, it would look swollen like dark purple like I got hit in the face and it would cause a dark line of skin kind of like a slash.

yea it gets big n sore do you think i need to see doc about this ?

I've recently waxed my eyebrows last week for the first time and after the swelling went down now I'm left with these bumps on my eyebrow line that won't go away. What to do, what will help it go away? Ice doesn't help.

If you mean razor burn,like those little bumps you get after shaving your vag,there is a great product I use called tend skin. I dab it on with a cotton ball right after I get out of the shower and I don't get them anymore. I bought it at a day spa,but I think u can order it online.

If you still want to go in for Brazilian waxing ,then apply cold compresses(ice cubes wrapped in a towel) on the rash and take some antihistaminic like benadryl or claritin.You can also apply calamine lotion on the rash.It will help in soothing the skin. A mild corticosteroid cream like dermacort will also help. Also you can go in for laser hair removal which causes permanent reduction of hair and does not cause folliculitis also. Please consult a good cosmetologist/dermatologist for that.

Although I am concerned mainly with the hair on my face. I have hair on my cheeks, sideburn, upper lip, chin. I tried waxing but it only made that portion of my face like 5X lighter than the rest of my face. Im terrified of trying new ways of hair removal because i feel as if it will come out looking stupid. Thisissue is making me very stressed and anxious; also its ruining my life. I have very low self esteem and have become very quiet. What do you sugguest I do?

For a fair while now I've had what I believe to be hair follicles on my penis and testicles, not jus near the base but also going all the way onto my foreskin, most of the bumps have a hair growing from it, and before I wasn't to worried; but now I'm starting to worry if they will stop as they are very unsightly; like goose bumps in actual fact and dont irritate or cause discomfort. Is there any treatment that can stop these?

I slept with someone about 2 weeks ago who has just informed me that he has MC. He didn't have the bumps when we slept together and we used protection. I recently switched from waxing to shaving because I was experiencing a lot of ingrown hairs from waxing which are still visible and healing (i'm positive these were ingrown hairs because I actually pulled the hairs out of them). After panicking and making a doctors appt.

Hello, I am A 13yr. old girl. I am African-American, and just experienced in-home eyebrow waxing for the first time. The problem is, after I was done, the area is red! it doesn't hurt, and I don't theink I have sensitive skin, but it's just really red. I followed all the directions on the 'Sally Hansen Eyebrow, Face & Lip Wax' and even used the lotion. So what can I do?

For the first time in my 44 years of life, i have developed under my left armpit some bumps that are like raised moles and colored blackish purple. They don't itch and I actually almost got rid of them when I washed my armpit with head and shoulders shampoo. After not paying attention to them for about 3 weeks while I recovered from the flu, they were back and had spread even more under my armpit! Could it be fungus, or cancer or what?

You should get your spouse to do it for you or you can get someone to go with you to get a bikini or brazilian wax. I prefer waxing because the results.lasts longer( about a month) than shaving. Plus you'll have less issues with ingrown hairs and bumps and that hurts.

Has anyone heard about not being able to get a waxing done on your legs if you have lyme??? First time for me, but not surprised by it.

I've had this for three days now. My face started getting itchy (kinda like how it would feel from really dry skin). I have tried not to scratch it, so I've just rubbed it a little or wash my face. I found out that washing it releives the itchiness a little. After I wash my face, I've noticed that the redness gets worse but then just goes away in about an hour. My skin is rough and feels like I have little tiny bumps on it. What is this.
