[divegirl]

Hi, my friend had his chest waxed yesterday and has come up in the most awful rash.Bless, he's going a way for the weekend with the new love of his life and is in a real state as it looks awful.It looks to me like the hair follicles are buggered....any thing he can do it take the redness out?

Nip to the chemist and buy some 1% strength hydrocortisone cream

[anneasquith]

try a costume shop , he could get a false chest hair piece.

Thanks Mrs O, that's what I thought too. I'm just hoping it will take some of the redness out of it, he's not in any pain so that's one less thing to worry about...oh to be young and in love!!!!

Looking at your name makes me wonder if I should change my name from Mrs Overall to "Divewomanofacertainage"

PLAIN yoghurt will cool and soothe the soreness / redness

[ChuckFickens]

LOL, though if you go away for the weekend and start spreading food products on yourself the new woman might get the wrong idea! (or he might get lucky!)

Sudocrem might help... It's 'magic cream' (mum used to call it that when we were little) and it does seem to make things less red.

ha ha
ooops, whats wrong with me today

[divegirl]

Thanks you all your answers...he tried calamine lotion and tea tree last night....I've sent him off with Aloe Vera and he's gone to get the cream on his way out.
I'll text him about the yoghurt though....they can have fun with that one ;O}

Oh and just to clarify...I'm a straight lass myself...he's the gay one!

Serves him right for being such a ponce by having his chest waxed

[NoMercy]

Tell him to try some aloe vera gel.

[tamborine]

talc or athletes foot powder (antiseptic) to stop it itching.

Bless him! They have something in the beauticians I go in to help reduce redness and such after waxing, I remember it's lovely and cooling though never see what it is as I have only ever ventured as far as having my eyebrows waxed so never see!

One of the girls I see there is on my facebook, will see if she is about and can suggest anything.

A local place that does waxing might be able to recommend something too, I was going to suggest Aloe Vero (Banana Boat do a great aftersun one) or something like cooling cucumber gel straight from the fridge.

[Eve]

They use No Bump Rx but it's a before and after to prevent then soothe.

[divegirl]

Thanks Jenna, he did go back to the salon, but they were less than helpful! He did sya last night that the hydro cortisone had helped some but to be honest I

[divegirl]

opps....

.......I think he's just going to have to wait it out.

Thank you to those with constructive replies.
