    Ingrown hairs after waxing - treatment?

    I got my first Brazilian two weeks ago. All good until a couple of days ago when I noticed red bumps indicating ingrown hairs. Bit itchy but I’m not scratching. Using a product called bump eraiser from Chemist Warehouse for the last day to treat.

    Any advice or tips on what I can do to get rid of the bumps. I have a sugar baby date on Friday and don’t want to freak her out.

    I take it that you did not get a waxing professional to do the job for you. If you did you would have been given advice on post-wax care including exfoliation and moisturising.
    Get yourself a set of exfoliation gloves from Coles or Woolies - they cost between $3 and $4 and use them religiously every day with a good body wash. After your shower apply an anti ingrown serum like the one you have and when that is dry moisturise with a non pore clogging lotion.
    As you are currently getting the bumps, I would initially exfoliate like buggery then apply an antibiotic cream to settle the bumps down - give it a day then adopt the routine in the above paragraph.
    As to glove care - rinse them well after use and hang them out to dry, you don't need bacteria growing in your exfoliation gloves.
    Your skin will get used to waxing and the incidence of ingrowns and associated bumps will considerably reduce the more you wax.

    Try ice. I also use it to treat puffy/baggy eyes after a big night out, and/or the sore muscles after a big workout.

    Waxing has best results over the long-term. Bumps and ingrown will happen the first few times, but soon enough the hairs grow back thinner and finer and so waxing becomes easier and no hassle.

    If you can't commit to something like that, just want short-term results cause you are seeing your fav on the weekend or something just shave.

    You need to exfoliate after a few days and you need some sort of dilapidation cream. Also worth getting a moisturiser with tea tree oil.

    Also read that you can apply hot towels after a few days to help any ingrown hairs come to the surface

    I stopped waxing for this reason and the therapist said some people are just prone to them and they can be quite bad as the hair just continues to grow inside.
    You could also try some acne creams that kills the bacteria causing infection and can help dry it out.

    I sometimes get ingrown hair cause the hair is thick.
    Only advice I can share is wear loose briefs. Dont wear anything tight. Moisturise and exfoliate

    I am not a fan of waxing or chemical hair removal.
    I just shave the balls and shaft with a twin razor and trim the rest of the pubic area with a beard trimmer.
    Have never had any problems.
    Oh and forget about all these expensive shaving lotions, creams etc, if you are shaving your balls or face or head or chest or whatever just buy a bottle/pump pack of Sorbolene.
    Its super cheap and does the job perfectly.
    You can buy a 1 litre bottle at Coles or Chemist Warehouse or whatever for around $10 and it will last you for months.
