Folliculitis-a pain in the neck! ...and elsewhere :)
A small percentage of women who brazilian wax for the first time may break out with tiny whitehead bumps along the bikini area. This is known as folliculitis and can be a source of irritation and aggrevation. Folliculitis occurs in about 1% of first time brazilian/bikini waxers and is easily treated.
After waxing, the hair follicle is open for about 24-48 hours and is suseptible to anything that may cause infection, even your own skins bacteria.
Folliculitis lasts 1 to 2 days if using PFB (a product that helps prevent rash/waxing bumps & ingrown hairs). On its own, folliculitis clears up in 5 to 6 days.
Waxing FYI's
* hair should be 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch long with No, no... don't worry about taking out your ruler...if you can pinch the hair between your fingers, it is long enough!
* a mild pain killer such as IBUPROFEN can help physically and mentally!
* avoid tanning before waxing/ avoid tanning 48 hours after waxing
*gentle exfoliation before and done daily after a waxing service can help prevent ingrown hairs
* a bikini or brazilian wax does not hurt THAT much (despite what you may think) IF you have an experienced esthetician
*you can not be waxed if you are using Retinol products such as Renova or Retin A
*You can not be waxed if you have used Accutane in the last 6 months
