Apparently waxing will not make you get red-bumpy things, i think they are 'ingrown' hairs. I've been waxing my vagina twice in total, and i always get 'ingrown' hair (red-bumps) or something?? is this dangerous?? and how do i avoid it?? i don't want to shave, i just want to wax, i think its cleaner. and these bumps are sore and my vagina is jst really itchy... what's going on?! lol.
oh and by the way, how do you remove the hair at the sensitive part. like the inbetween your legs area, where it is close to your vagina? i have ben waxing my mound only, is that right??

Red bumps normally are irritation, from shaving. They rarely come from waxing, but could come if your skin has an irritation or reaction with the hot wax. Ingrown hairs occur when you wax, and like it just doesnt grow back the right way. I only got ingrowns once, so I just waxed them tweezered them off and they came back normal again.
Neither is dangerous, they can both just cause discomfort. Okayyy so I'm assuming you have the red bumps? I'm not sure which one (of if you have both). Anywaaays what you have to do is put on a lotion (non-colored/perfumed -- that causes further irritation... I use Olay Body Quench i love it) and put it on like 3 times a day AT LEAST. It might sting at first but then it gives immediate relief. And prevents itchiness.
You can wax that part too, I do it. It hurts a bit more, but eventually after doing it enough it doesnt hurt. Like for me, I've been doin brazilian waxes for like 3 years now and I dont feel the pain. I'm a hugeee expert on waxing andd skin, because I want to be a dermatologist. So if I didn't answer any of your questions here or youd like further advice just askkk :) [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
