I had bright red stripe in the fold of skin between mons and thigh, which appeared two days after I got a wax. It did not itch or burn, but it was BRIGHT RED. It was diagnosed as a candidal skin infection, but as I am allergic to most topical antifungals, I took Fluconazal instead (also called Diflucan--it's an oral medicine for yeast infections.) I took 1 150mg tablet and another 150 mg tablet 24 hours later. I also took 4 doses of Benadryl 6 hours apart and treated the area 3 times a day with Triple Paste (a kind of diaper rash cream, hard to find but worth it!) The Benadryl really helped with the redness, and the Triple Paste seemed to help protect the skin without causing any peeling or staining clothes too badly.
