I tried waxing my bikini line with waxing strips and now there’s bruising. I’m scared that I popped some blood vessels and these bruises are gonna stay for the whole summer
Help what caused this, will they go away soon, and is it dangerous???
Don’t worry! it’s just because you pulled the skin and damaged some blood vessels beneath (it’s the same principle as a love bite if you don’t mind me saying). To avoid in future this be careful to stretch the skin well so the strip pulls away from it quickly and can’t pull the skin upwards with it. Also don’t try to wax round corners (so on an area that’s not flat - like the top of your thigh, wax up to one side of the curve and then the other, or pull the skin so it is a flat plane). Also be careful on areas like the groin where the skin is looser and you have to be extra careful to stretch it. It looks like some hairs are left behind so that also suggests the skin wasn’t stretched, as they’re long enough to have come out.
It will be gone in a few days, arnica cream might help if you can get some on soon afterwards but honestly it will be gone soon
