when did you get them waxed?
it's quite common to get redness after waxing but it goes away in 1 or 2 hours for me

Re: disaster....help required ASAP

try putting hand towel in some cold water and put over your arms
cold things reduce inflammation too

Re: disaster....help required ASAP

maybe the wax was too hot?

Re: disaster....help required ASAP

its quite normal....waxing is quite harsh...and the skin just gets irritated for a little while..no biggie. Baby oil, hydrocortisone cream...both work really well.
