Suggest Treatment For Itching And Rash In Genital Area

Hello. I got my first brazilian wax 3 weeks ago this Saturday. Since then I have had this horrible irritation down there. For about a week/week and a half if was red and inflamed & very itchy. The rash and inflamed part is where my underwear rubs. But it is itchy basically everywhere the wax was used. I used some aloe Vera and hydrocortisone and it went away. Just 2 days ago it started again. It s like the rash came back and it is so itchy again & there is some drainage/discharge coming from the area where is scabbed up. What should I put on it to make it stop itching make the rash go away? And how can I jeep the rash from returning? I am never getting another wax again! So traumatizing.

Hi,

It might be contact dermatitis developed against the chemicals used for waxing.

As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
