Hydrocortisone cream, not ointment. The ointment tends to hold the heat of the inflamation, keeping the skin just as irritated. One other idea is to dip a cotton swab in COLD salt water and dabbing (not rubbing!) onto the freshly waxed area. Let air dry, then apply the hydro-cream. This is what I've been successful with using for my wax clients. Also, use a wax suited for sensitive skin.
