Waxing (f26 | ghsv1)
I’m looking for advice on preparing to get waxed and experience on how it went.
I have been getting back to back ingrowns lately. It started earlier this year, I made my own lading strip because a follicle in that area would randomly get irritated and it would stress me into thinking I was having an outbreak. I’ve since had ingrowns that were so deep they were like cysts.
I now currently have one in the crease going towards the bottom. I thought at first it was just irritation from some tight underwear’s worse by sitting gymnasium seats for 2 hours for a graduation and didn’t think anything of it. Then I felt it and said oh lord. Part of me thinks it’s an ingrown and the other thinks it’s an outbreak. It hurts and is hard kinda like a cyst with an ingrown hair but there is a smaller bump im not sure about. I’ve only have one actual outbreak to my knowledge so I have a hard time telling. Normally once the bump has been there a while past the amount a herpes sore would be, or it doesn’t burn the open sore when I pee, I know it’s something else.
Either way, please I need advice on shaving because I’m worried the ripping of the wax will give me an outbreak which defeats the purpose. Also I hear you have to exfoliate but again I’m worried about how to do that without causing irritation.
What do you ladies who get waxed do? Please I’ll take any advice to make this easier and give me peace of mind.
