Today, I had my back waxed to deal with the uncontrollable hair growth. Afterwards, I broke out in numerous pimples where the hair used to be. Basically, a lose-lose situation. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to use an at-home waxing kit for the first time to get rid of the hair on my upper lip. After experiencing the trauma of waxing, I fell asleep. A few hours later, I woke up to see that I now have acne everywhere I had waxed. I have an acne mustache. FML
Today, I popped a zit that had formed around an ingrown hair "down there". It popped with so much force, the pus hit me in the forehead. Still can't get the hair out. FML
Today, I realized that the full body wax I got two weeks ago that my wife told me would look sexy doesn't just make me look like a completely hairless ten-year-old boy. The ingrown hairs everywhere now make me look like someone with chicken pox. FML
Today, I thought it would be a good idea to use my epilator on my eyebrows. Needless to say I now have the eyebrow equivalent of a comb-over. FML
Today, I was waxing my legs and somehow dropped an enormous dollop of hot wax on my naked crotch. I refused to yank it off, but still had to cut it off with scissors. So now I have a huge patch of pubic hair way shorter than the rest of it. It looks a right mess FML
Today, I realized that I can't shave my unibrow because I have too much acne on my forehead. FML
Today, after begging for over an hour, I had to pay my sister $20 to wax my back for me so my bra would stop painfully pulling at the hair I repulsively seem to be growing there. FML
Today, I decided to wax my eyebrows. My entire eyebrow came off. FML
Today, I was finally confident enough to buzz half my hair off into the style I've wanted since I was young. Turns out that I have a particularly large and angry-looking skin problem across my scalp that may well have been there for years. It'll take months to grow back. FML
Today, I decided to take a relaxing shower. My face mask made my face break out in hives. While exfoliating, my nipples became chafed. Then I slipped and cut myself while shaving. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That sucks OP. I'm sorry.

Next I'd advise asking them not to use oil to remove the wax residue, bringing your own (something skin friendly), or showering /immediately/ after you get waxed. Don't feel bad; his is a really common problem.

don't worry about it. your skin becomes used to it and you stop breaking out. shaving your back will have this effect too. best thing you can probably do is use hair removal creams but I'm not sure if it'll work.

it's totally normal, the pores are open and can get infected easily. next time wash your back as soon as you get home- just don't scrub that will hurt like a bitch. keep it up the hair thins out quickly!

try using 2 ~ 4 % salicylic acid body showers, it helps!

don't worry it happens. the waxing opens up all the pores allowing the oils to come to a head. keep your back washed, keep waxing and it'll stop when you wax. been there.

I am a professional waxer, and I see people react this way often. If you can, ask them to use a high frequency machine after waxing. It helps to kill any bump causing bacteria. I use it on every facial wax and it works wonders. ;)
