Hmm..maybe it's because the hair is gone so things have room to ooze out of your pores now? LOL You could always try oil blotting papers. I'm no dermatologist so what do I know, do what you think you should. Just from my experience astringents/soaps irritate a rash or break-out, when I think that stripped skin like that should be soothed. But I have very sensitive skin. I also agree with Kash's suggestion for some Advil/Tylenol. Good luck!!
