Treating Post‑Waxing Bumps and Irritation

Waxing removes hair and the top skin layer, often causing redness and bumps.

Immediate Care

• Cold compress: Reduces swelling/inflammation.
• Moisturize: Prevents dryness.
• Don't pick/scratch: Avoids infection.

Topical Remedies (2× daily)

• Witch hazel (astringent, anti‑inflammatory)
• Aloe vera (soothing, anti‑inflammatory)
• Hydrocortisone cream (if severe inflammation)

See a dermatologist if bumps persist beyond a few days or worsen. Healing may take days to weeks.
