whats up guys…
basically i got my chest waxed and i had a small irritation i did one worse i went to get a tan later and now i have pimples all over my chest for the first time ever....
Ive never had to deal with this I dont really know what to do with them Ive been trying to wash my chest really thoroughly and used some acne solution on it but it doesnt seem to be doing anything
any helpful hints?
thanks
same thing happened when I had my balls waxed.
All the washing and acne solution is irritating your skin even more. Wash normally and use moisterizer.
That’s why men don’t get themselves waxed, or wear thongs, or oil up before getting on stage in front of a 90% male audience.
Oh wait…
Just the same as any other pimple…pop the pus onto the mirror and have some fun with it.
you sure thats acne? when i got my chest waxed, i had one patch of red bumpyness at the thickest spot below my neck. its not acne and it goes away in time. never tried moisturizer but if it pisses you off that much just shave.
Thick chest hair? The pimples are probably caused by irritation/inflammation from ingrown hairs (think razor burn). I get the same thing on my lower neck if I rush my shave.
They will go away with time (a day or two, most likely). If it’s terribly bothersome, try low strength benzoyl peroxide or something (at night, preferably, if you sleep shirtless - no sense in bleaching your T’s). Just don’t pick at them or wash them too much, as that will most likely exacerbate the problem.
In the future (if this hasn’t taught you your lesson against removing body hair NOT on your face), try getting a better waxer, or taking it a little more slowly. Certain supplements (eg, fish oil, selenium) may help with the inflammation (and can help with pimples elsewhere).
exactly, its not pimples its skin irritation. i know baby powder helps sooth it and try using some aloe. it probaly wont go away in a day or two since that area is more sensitive but probaly in a week. im sure getting the tan immediately after didnt help either. next time dont let your hair get that long before you remove it.
