How To Cure Itching And Burning Bumps On Skin After Waxing?
Hello I had a wax around three weeks ago and it was more painful than usual. I am 37 weeks pregnant. I was told I had ingrowing hairs which were popped and bled during the wax. Then the next day I started to feel lots of pain itching and some bumps. The itching has stopped and the severity of the pain. However I still have the bumps some of which are sore. Can you give some advice as to what this is and how I can cure it.

Hi.
During pregnancy, Skin becomes a little extra sensitive. May be the pull of the stripvwas wrong, may be because of in growths, there was an infections of the hair root after waxing. This could have lead to the painful bumps. Simple calamine lotion could help. But since you are pregnant, take Doctor's opinion for further treatment.
All the best for your delivery.
Thanks,
