I've got this painful boil on my mons pubis, and while I managed to get rid of some pus from it, it's still aching a bit. Could you tell me why this might have happened and what I can do to prevent it from happening again? I'm looking for some advice on how to deal with these in the future.

I've just had my first full body wax, and it's led to some red and itchy bumps on my stomach and back. I've only waxed my arms and legs before and didn't have this reaction. What can I use to help reduce the itchiness and redness? Would a specific cream or tablet be best?
