A member asked:

Allergic reaction to waxing, should i see doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Judgement call: If one has a localized area of contact or irritant dermatitis then symptomatic treatment is probably reasonable. If there is a broader area or the reaction is not improving or getting worse then seeking a medical opinion may be worthwhile.
