Got waxed now my back has flared up!!

[I_Want_Abs]

hey guys i got my back and arms waxed about a week ago, i chickened out getting my chest done cause my arms ****ing killed me and my chest is alot more hairyer than my arms (yes i am a pussy)....

anyway we started with my back, after waxing my back we didnt wipe it down with cool water or anything we just moved straight onto my arms, after doing each arm we wiped them down with cool water, then realised we didnt wipe my back so we did but unfortunantly i sweated a little bit inbetween that time which i think is what has started off this little infection.

about 2 hours later my back flared up in a rash and then later on the rash turned into a shit load of pimples i started taking an antihistamine and washing with anti bacterial gel which toned it down alot but now a week later it is starting to look really bad again especially when i work out it all just flares up and gets inflamed!!!!

i'm going to go to the doctor and see if i can get an antibiotic or something to help get rid of it, i just dont want to end up with any scaring from this outbreak....

any of you guys have any suggestions??

cheers bex.

Sounds like folliculitis which is an infection that resides within your hair folicules.

hey i just got back from the doctor and he said that this is what i have and it's pretty common with waxing, anyway he prescribed me some antibiotics called keflex (cephalexin monohydrate) 500mg caps.

thanks for the reply bro....

If it fails to work, you'll then want to try Adoxa. And if Adoxa doesn't work, then go with Sulfameth/Trimeth.

thanks for the input bro, i hope it clears up with the keflex.

i will keep those 2 products in mind though just incase
