Question:
Why is this happening!?
Basically I'm getting so frustrated with my bikini wax :( I have a hollywood every 4 - 5 weeks and Ive been having a wax of some sort since about february, and to begin with I had no problems, I had a couple of ingorwing hairs but started to exfoliate regularly, used tend skin and I was fine!
But then I got out of the habit of exfoliating for a about 3 weeks and then went to have a wax but after I had quite a few ingrowing hairs, so I decided to go back to my old waxer and tried to exfoliate more but ever since then each time i get waxed literally a few hours after having it done I come up in tiny little white heads which are soooo painful :(
I thought at first it was just my skin being sensitive after not exfoliating enough so I left it like 6 weeks to let my skin recover and I only had one ingrowing hair which was healing and i had a wax yesterday but yet again ive come up in these little lumps with white heads ( sorry very gross). I thought they were ingrowing hairs, but ive been so good with my routine and theres no hair when i squeeze them they usually just heal up so I'm not so sure they are!
Sorry for long post, just Its getting me down that i go to the effort of having it done and i end up all red and sore! So i just wondered if anyone had any ideas as to what it is?
thanks :)

I'm not sure what the diaignosis is, possibly just irritation, but you could try using some aloe vera and rubbing it in the area every so often.
