Wax epilation is a popular and generally safe technique used to remove unwanted body hair. We describe two adolescent girls who sustained severe folliculitis following wax epilation. Despite treatment with systemic antibiotics and local treatment, their rash evolved to severe permanent keloid scars. We suggest that parents and adolescents should be advised to perform wax epilation in optimal hygienic conditions. Physicians should be aware of this possible sequela and treat it rapidly and aggressively, with both topical and systemic agents, to avert complications.
蜡脱毛是一种常用且通常安全的去除身体多余毛发的技术。我们描述了两名青春期女孩在蜡脱毛后发生了严重的毛囊炎。尽管接受了全身抗生素治疗和局部治疗，她们的皮疹仍发展为严重的永久性瘢痕疙瘩。我们建议应告知家长和青少年在最佳卫生条件下进行蜡脱毛。医生应意识到这种可能的后遗症，并迅速积极地使用局部和全身药物进行治疗，以避免并发症。
