I have a very bad rash/folliculitis from having my back waxed. What can I do to make it go away?

I don't think it is an infection, but just irritation from the hairs growing back... It's quite uncomfortable and VERY ugly - any bright ideas would be gratefully received!

We live and learn.

Hydrocortisone cream from your pharmacy should do it but if you want to a more natural remedy then go for Aloe Vera gel from Holland & Barrett.

Use some savlon cream that should sooth it.
I always use baby wipes after I get my legs or eyebrows waxed cos it helps to sooth that stinging sensation and gets rid of any left over wax.

Leave it and if it gets any worse go to your doctors after 3 days of this rash.Ma be it is nothing but it is always save than sorry.

Get some natural moisturiser or oil or hemp cream, you can get these things at body shop.
