Is Warm Labia, Soreness, Abnormal Smell Caused Due To Infection After Having Brazilian Waxes?

I have had 3 brazilian waxes and have had nothing but trouble since. My vaginal area was red and swollen like normal. However, it remained this way. I have not had a wax in 4 weeks and my symptoms are getting worse. My labia are warm to the touch and very sore. I also feel like I have an abnormal smell but no discharge. Is this an infection? I have a doctor's appt on Tuesday but the buring and pain is almost unbearable.
