Can i wax my armpit even if i have herpes?

There is usually warning, even for deodorant, not to apply to broken skin. If you have broken skin in your armpit it is best to avoid use of certain applications because there is increased risk like infection.

Not a good idea until fully healed as mechanical trauma/irritation is a trigger and causes the inflammation to further spread.
