A few days ago I got a wax. that next morning I noticed this burning like something had burned me really bad. I ignored it thinking it was just tender from waxing being that i hadn't waxed in months. well yesterday i decided to take a look at it and notice a redness to the skin. Waxer said it doesnt look like herpes but probably from wax being to hot and pulling the skin in the wrong direction. what do you guys think? image

    it's a pretty large bump which shouldn't happen from waxing. I'd get it checked out to be safe.

      I agree, it worth getting a swab test even if it's very mild.
