One of my clients couldn't afford to get waxed so she started shaving about a year ago. Then she began having a problem with ingrown hairs. There were two areas on the bikini line where the ingrown hairs had gotten swollen and painful. When she went to her gynecologist to have them looked at, he immediately sent her to the emergency room. Her ingrown hairs had developed into abscesses and the infection was so bad that it traveled throughout her body. They had to lance the areas to remove the hairs and some of the infection. She had to stay in the hospital overnight and get a strong dosage of IV antibiotics administered to her in order to kill the infection. After she left the hospital, she was put on antibiotics four times a day to make sure the infection was cleared. She has decided that she will figure out a way to pay for waxing since it now appears to be a medical necessity.

I told you shaving was evil.
