I had a hair removal wax treatment for the first time yesterday and have had an allergic reaction. The reaction has only occured in areas where a post treatment oil was applied. Affected areas are itchy and some small red lumps have appeared. I am using calomine lotion as a topical treatment. Will pseodoephedrine help? It is the only antihistamine I have at hand.
Hi, Thanks for writing your query. You should wash the affected area thoroughly. Pseudocode Chat Doctor. You should take antihistamines medicine like Fenofexadine or Cetirizine for relief. Application of Calamine lotion will help in decreasing the itching sensation, but local application of steroid cream will be more beneficial. You should get yourself examined clinically at the Emergency Department and take the appropriate medicine. Donor apply the post-wax treatment oil in the future, as your skin is sensitive to it. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.
