    Hi i had a friend wax my back, shoulders and chest last Wednesday. It was my first time getting it done and wasn't to sore untill she got round to the belly. Anywho, my dilema now is that i have some serious spots on my upper back, shoulders and upper chest.
    I was quite hairy but dont know if that would affect the outcome. Is this normal for after a first time waxing? The spots on the back of my neck are actually quite sore and constantly chaff on shirt collars.
    Any help or advice is hugely appreciated.

    try some tea tree. The next time will be easier. Make sure you keep the area clean and avoid using perfumed shower gels etc.

    Ha ha thanks but don't actually intend for there to be a "next time". After closer inspection they look more like miniature boils than spots?!?!

    Did you do something that would involve a lot of sweating or have a shower after? This can cause the pores to let in bacteria and become spots or boils. ust give it time and it should clear up.

    Happened to my husband after he was waxed the first time - apparently is completely normal and is to do with the hair folicles reacting to the trauma.

    Just put some tea tree or savlon on it and it should clear up in a few days.

    I was warned to not do any "vigorous" activity for 24 hours after. I genuinely avoided my girlfriend and the gym for 48hours and i didn't shower till the following night, at least 26+ hours later and it was purely warm water, no shampoo, shower gel or soap.
    I'll report back tomorrow...
