i'm so sorry hun. you might want to try and go to the place to got it waxed and figure out what exactly were the ingredients used. Then you should try and go to a dermatologist and tell them what happened. Since it is a skin condition, I'm sure the dermo would be able to help. You could be having an allergic reaction. If not, try bathing the area with warm water so that your pores open up and that ingrown hair will come out. Sorry it's happening to you. Hope it gets better!

ouch, that is nasty, I'd try some oil of olay for sensitive skin daily facial toner for a short time and if it doesn't clear up go to a dermatologist
Whatever you do please don't try to open them up or lance them as you could get a really nasty infection.
Dermatologists see this all the time and there is nothing to be embarrassed of at all. Many gals get bikini waxes and this occurs more often than what you'd think.
Embarrassment causes women to self treat or take a let's wait and see approach which then leads to more serious and very serious infections and issues.
Try a very mild astringent for a few days max it could open them up gently and get things healing and the hair coming out but if not you MUST see a physician.

Hi!
Go buy Bikini Zone, works wonders in a few days. (gel format). If not you also need to exfoliate,scrub and remove skin on top as much as possible so that hair can regrow straight and not ingrown. Next time try trimming, electric bikini trimmers on eBay new can go for 5-10$ (retail is pricey).
For body best thing that worked cause I have the same problem (this is going to sound crazy) is ground coffee, preferably dry or you can use old used coffee grinds (not instant) and bring it in the shower. Wet your legs with water then take a pinch full and in circular motions (not straight) rub it around and around for a minute or so. Do this every item you shower and it makes legs soooooooo soft, incredible! Alsomost toners are like 98% rubbing alcohol and water, so after my shower (once my legs are dry) I take rubbing alcohol and apply it liberally to your legs and problem areas (soak it) then let it dry on it's own, should help thin the skin and dry out a bit.
I looked for over 8 years for a product against blackheads.
Clarins has an awesome line, for night time you need the toner and oil, its a special oil that dissolves blackheads (for real) and cleans your face overnight of impurities. Black heads are basically a hardened oil mixture that was secreted and oxidized (which makes the outside part black) and since water and oil don't mix no water based product can "clean" your blackheads away, just try say putting certain foundations or makeups on the mirror and if you wipe it with water it smudges all over but put a little baby oil and wipe and tada! it comes off super clean AND dissolves it. This oil also dries up the pimples and the black heads all the way down. I recommend using it for 6-8 weeks then going for a facial (cost maybe 25$) and ask for a facial specializing in black head removal or you can look it up online, how to steam first and all and yes using a tissue paper not your fingernails really is better, I know cause now I have little brown spots and acne scars from years of picking with nails, tissue forms a little barrier so that the sharp edge of your nails doesn't cut the thin outer cell layer.
You can find it cheaper on eBay as it is a bit pricey in stores. Here is the name: Oil: CLARINS Lotus Face Treatment Oil Combo SKIN 1.4oz/40ml will last forever , you put toner on your face first, when your face is still moist you put 4 drops of oil (one on each finger, you only need a teeny bit) then rub your finger tips together on other hand and after a few secs of rubbing use your finger tips to dab it on top of your moist skin... just be careful not to put more than 4-6 small drops of oil and that your face is wet from toner and to dab it over not rub. Toner: NEW Clarins Toning Lotion with Iris OILY Skin Toner 200mL.
The body shop also has an awesome mattifying moisturizing tea oil face gel.
Also only use non-comedogenic products (These products are less likely to cause blackheads (open comedones) or whiteheads (closed comedones)), it will be normally written in small on the label if they are non-comedogenic.
Take care, Felisia

Honestly the only little spots I've ever had that got ingrown, well I pretty much treated it like a pimple...you may have to mess with them and get them to clear out. If they are actually big and noticeable then they may be infected, in that case I'd go to your doctor.

So sorry to hear about your bad experience....have you called the place where the procedure was done? I have a problem with NAIR the ingredients are just too strong for me.
It's probably one of the chemicals....have you applied warm towels followed by cool ones, that should help some. Hope you get better real soon

You will probably have to wait till it grows out, but you may try hydrogen peroxide to remove excess skin so the hair can grow out easier.
