August 18, 2021
Asked By:Meganedavis in Rochester, New York

I had a Brazilian wax a year ago that turned into ingrown hairs… I plucked them and dug around in my skin with tweezers that weren’t clean and it gave me folliculitis. I also got cysts that turned into what looked like boils. They were huge and painful. Left me with these dark red marks and scars I haven’t been sexually active in a year because of it. Please help what do I do?
