What happens when wax gets into an open wound?

Wax can act as a barrier to the wound and prevent proper healing. Additionally, the wax can trap heat and moisture in the wound, creating a favorable environment for bacterial growth and infection. The presence of wax can also cause inflammation and swelling, which can further delay the healing process. In some cases, wax can also lead to the formation of granulomas, which are collections of inflammatory cells that can be difficult to treat.
