skin peeling after waxing - #20904

Shivam

I am really worried about something that happened after my last waxing. I mean, I have always waxed, but this time, my skin started peeling after waxing and it's kinda freaking me out. Like, I had super smooth skin right after the service, all nice and pretty, but then a few days later, I noticed this dryness and then, bam, skin peeling after waxing! I tried putting on my regular body lotion, but it didn’t help at all. The skin feels itchy and looks red in patches too, which just makes me more nervous. I wonder if this is a normal reaction or if I messed something up? Should I be putting some different creams on it or leave it be? I've read about skin peeling after waxing but always thought it was something that happened to others, not me! Should I go see a dermatologist, or will it clear up on its own? I don’t wanna be stuck with peeling skin for too long. Any advice from you guys would be super helpful! Just trying to figure out if this is usual or if I need to take a different approach since skin peeling after waxing is definitely not something I expected to deal with!
