I had lasor hair removal done on my full bikini exactly two weeks ago, on the fourth day after treatement my right labia had swollen to double in size and was very warm and sensitive, it felt more like a burn than a boil, but within 24 hours it had gone down, now 2 days ago I started to notice the shredding of my hair and yesterday my labia has swollen in the same place again and is still swollen today (24 hours later) what could this be? Will it go down on its own?
