Is it true that waxing your pubic area can cause vaginal infections and give you pimples or bumps? If yes, what is the alternative to waxing?
Oct 10, 2014

Dr. Ismaël Maatouk Dermatology
If you already have an infection (i.e. Warts), waxing can help disseminate them. But If you are asking about the classic "pimples" that grow after waxing, which corresponds medically to a folliculitis, this is a frequent condition that occurs with waxing or any other alternative; and can be prevented by antibiotics administration. Cure of the condition is best achieved with depilatory laser.
