Can I bikini wax after herpes outbreak

I recently had my first herpes outbreak and I’d like to know if it’s safe to keep getting bikini waxes. Will this trigger an outbreak?

low immunity is the most important cause of the outbreaks of herpes . skin breaks caused by wax might cause outbreak. so terminal removal of hair with laser will be better

yes it's safe to do waxes

Better to avoid

bikini waxing doesn't provoke genital herpes outbreak unless there's active lesions. Make sure you had proper oral and topical treatment for herpes and you can do waxing 2 to 3 weeks after complete curing of all lesions.
