Ok but...: It's ok to get waxed while having herpes, although, you have to remember a few things, such as it will be painful and may be even very painful to do so. Also, you may spread the virus as you will deroof the blisters, potentially exposing others. Be aware of it and think twice if you want to do it while it's present or it may wait until it's gone.

Wait: You could spread it , leave color change or spread it. If you are prone to herpesi would consider antivirals such as zovirax (acyclovir) orally prior to waxing and if herpes attacks are frequent and uncomfortable even continuos prophylactic antivirals as preventive. It easier to delay waxing than to treat deep discoloration or even scarring which may result.
