Waxing horror

Hi guys I recently waxed my face at home everything was fine and then ( sorry to be vulgar ) the next day a massive pus filled spot appeared absolutely huge red and hurting hot to touch. I think it’s an infected spot. I’m putting a warm compress on it as we speak and have taken ibuprofen.

Do you think it’s worth ringing doctors tomorrow for antibiotics perhaps? Or am I being a baby

thanks again
ps I hate waxing !!

Could that be a burn?

Visit a pharmacy. They might be able to give you something.

Was there any hint of the spot before waxing? I remember after I shaved my vag a few years back I got a monster ingrown hair which looked like a huge painful spot. It was SO satisfying when I managed to pop it and uncurl the hair (boak)

Have you tried sticking a sterilised needle in it if there is pus?
