That's what I used to do. But it doesn't work anymore. I have had it waxed professionally and waxed it myself. Used to work well. Didn't even have any swelling or irritation. Until about 4 years ago.

I have to add that my skin has changed quite a bit in the last years. I got pustular psoriasis on my hands and feet about 5 years ago. Quite badly. It has almost disappeared now. But my skin is way more sensitive than it used to be. Suddenly react to wearing earrings. After 15 years of wearing even the cheapest earrings without any problems, suddenly I react to even the medicinal ones and gold and silver ones, too.
I also get dermatitis under my rings. I no idea what's going on and if I go to the doctor, they only ever give me steroid creams. They don't care about figuring out the cause.
I know that it's not easy with skin conditions.

A bit OT: I have seen a dermatologist a few years back about my psoriasis. Not that it did much. Funnily enough, it seemed to get worse in early pregnancy, but during the third trimester it cleared up. I have since been pregnant or breastfeeding and it never came back. Isn't that odd? no idea whether there is a connection...
