Can I do hair removal (sugaring) while on IV antibiotics?

On cephtriaxone via PICC line for Lyme. Beach weekend with 8 friends coming up. Need to do some bikini maintenance and have always sugared instead of waxed. Sugarist won't do it without doctor note. Doctor won't know. Is it safe or my skin tear up?

I use to own a salon, what I really like is threading.
Sorry about your traumatized legs but you do get use to it and your person doesn't sound too good if she missed spots. I am too sick to shave.

I had never even heard of sugaring.  Sorry I am not any help.  But I am intrigued to try it in the future. The one time I did waxing, it was pure torture and she missed a bunch of spots. I still had to go home and shave my traumatized legs.

I'd call the doc's office and ask.  If there's any doubt, wear shorts. :)

I do it all the time but I am on oral meds. I had a picc line which kept getting infected for something else so I am not sure without Docs ok.
