Sugar waxing at 37 weeks

Hi mummies, I went for sugar waxing appt 3 days ago and developed pimple-like white pus. Very sensitive and uncomfortable. Is this normal and how long will it go away? Anything that I can apply? It’s so sensitive that I can’t wear any sanitary pad due to abrasion #advicepls

Hi mum, I had something similar before after waxing also and those white pus bumps can sometimes be folliculitis or irritation from hair follicles getting inflamed, especially during pregnancy when skin is more sensitive. It can feel quite sore and uncomfortable for a few days. I would usually just keep the area clean, avoid further waxing or shaving, and wear loose breathable cotton underwear to reduce friction. Since you are 37 weeks pregnant and it sounds quite painful, I think it’s safer to let your gynae or a doctor take a look just to make sure it’s not infected and you get the right cream if needed.
