Allergic reaction or Herpes?!?! Please HELP

[anonperson]

Hi I recently got a brazilian wax and the next day I had a raw, swollen place where they had half waxed/didn't! When she waxed the wax felt hot and I felt it run down to the place that I am have the problem with. Anyways I had wax left on long hairs all day (I got waxed in the morning) I went shopping, walking with wax pulling on these hairs and sweating all day in really tight Jeans (I could feel it pulling and I would have to readjust jeans/panties).
Well that bothered me but not bad but I kept rubbing it all day and the next. I didn't take a shower that night because I took a shower that morning and was headed to the lake the next morning all day. Well I noticed later the next day the rawness and the sore that was forming after I had gotten off the lake. This is after I had kept rubbing it for a day and a half. I have been putting antibotic (antibiotic) ointment on it followed by baby powder to keep it dry and it seems to be healing. It has only been a day and a half since I noticed it.

I am scared of what this might be. It really only hurts when my jeans rub against it. It doesn't hurt when urine passes over it or water. I got an STD test (blood work) 5 months ago and every six months before this for the past 4 years. All were NEG. In the HSV1 and HSV2 NEG too. I have been with the same man for the past 2 years. I know he hasn't cheated on me. He has been checked and is NEG as well. Could this be a reaction from the irratation of the
wax that was left on for a long period of time.on the partial hairs. Because this took effect less than 24-48 hours later of the wax. With no prior soreness there before the wax. I am freaking out!!!! Or could it be a burn?

I'd say its a reaction to having the wax left on for so long.  Its either an allergy, irritation or maybe even a burn.

It wouldn't hurt to get it checked by your doc.

Maybe I am just over reacting!!! Would should I use to clear up the sore? I have been using Hydrogen Perioxide but it seems to iratate it more. Now my gland on the same side is swollen and mildly tender. I think it is do the trauma in the area.. What to do you think?

[auntiejessi]

Ohhhh no hydrogen peroxide.  You are only drying it out more, and hydrogen peroxide kills off good stuff.

I'd get it checked by your doctor.  You might need a prescription cream to heal it if its a burn.

I don't have insurance! I am so over reacting about this!

Then find a Planned Parenthood or free clinic near you.  

And I don't think you are overreacting - I'd be all over the place if I had burned my vagina.

Ok I now have a scar where the sore was. But now it is itching and tingling- i think to much nerves for about a day now-- so this is making me really nervous! I went to the doctor when it was still a sore and she said it looked more like a burn too from the wax- so of course I went with this. Could she have been wrong?

[auntiejessi]

She could have been, but I'd believe her for now.  Just keep an eye on it, and if it comes back, get in to see them as soon as possible.
