What are risks of waxing chest hair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Folliculitis: Waxing can result in a localized infection in certain individuals. It is not suited for people with chest acne. Waxing is repeated at about 4-6 weeks, and there needs to be stubble for waxing to be effective. Longer term laser offers advantages if affordable.
