It sounds like you might be experiencing a delayed skin reaction, possibly from the waxing session. Even if you’ve used the same wax before without issues, skin can sometimes become more sensitive over time. This could be due to an allergic reaction, irritation, or even an infection.

At Irvine Skin, Dr. Parvin Shafa specializes in treating sudden skin reactions, allergies, and rashes with expert care.

You may have developed a hive reaction or allergic reaction. You could try using an otc hydrocortisone 1% and taking an antihistamine to get relief. If that doesn't work, then see a dermatologist.

For this problem you need to see your dermatologist in person

Patients often mislead doctors by blaming their rashes on eating salmons or visited their grandmother etc. Most people do not wax their hands so itching on hands and legs are unlikely to be caused by waxing. Seeing a good dermatologist may help resolve the mystery.

That's impossible to tell without seeing the rash in person.

Without seeing, I cannot give advice, is it Eczema, Psoriasis or an infection of the skin? You need to see a Dermatologist.

This is a must see by your dermatologist. The rash must be seen to determine if it’s an allergic reaction, an infection, inflammation or irritation.
