BRAZILIAN WAX WARNING
Trouble with a popular beauty treatment is making headlines, Brazilian waxes.  You can develop complications, an infection called cellulitis. New Jersey almost banned Brazilian waxes after two women had to be hospitalized. The experts say pubic hair is there for a reason to protect skin and membranes in the genital region — and that getting a wax literally strips away that area of protection.  If you think you might have a problem after getting a Brazilian wax,  doctors say you need to take a mirror and look around down there .. ingrown hairs, redness, irritation or an itching or burning sensation are signs of an infection. Call a doctor.
