I've been dealing with white bumps on my back and front area after waxing, and it's been about three days now. They're painful and super itchy. Do you have any advice on what might help?

You may be experiencing folliculitis, which is inflammation of the hair follicles. You can try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the inflammation and itching. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine to help with the itching. To prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin.

I've had this itchiness and redness on my clitoris for the past two weeks and I'm kind of anxious about it. I'm not really comfortable going to see a doctor in person right now, so I'm wondering what steps I might take to help with this at home. Do you have any suggestions?

I'm curious about using alum for treating yeast infections. I've read about applying water and alum together, but I'm not sure how effective it is or if there are any risks involved. Could you provide some insights into whether this is a safe and useful method?

There is no such evidence that it would work for your problem.instead waiting for it to become worse,visit dermatologist for appropriate management.
