Infection from leg waxing.

Painful AF.

Do I need to see a GP, or just keep it clean and look after at home?

Really sore, but am at work so can't do much until the morning.

Any tips?

draw around the redness with a biro to see if it's spreading.
keep it clean and covered.
if it doesn't improve soon, yes you need it seen.

Please also let the salon know, they should discard the wax and look at their sanitation techniques!

DH had a similar looking wound from a flea bite although bigger. GP prescribed a steroid and antibiotic cream and it cleared right up.
