Whenever I get my upper lip waxed, the next day I break out in the same area where the hair was removed. The breakout includes small whiteheads and they usually go away in few days but no matter what I do or how clean my face is I still breakout there. Is there any solution for this.

Whiteheads are comedones that are formed due to clogging of the skin pores with dead skin cells, oils, grime, and/or bacteria. They appear white or yellowish in color and are firm. The problem of whiteheads can easily deteriorate one’s self-esteem and confidence. They can pop up anywhere and anytime, and ruin your look.
Clogged pores are the primary cause of whiteheads appearing on your skin. This blockage can occur due to various reasons like –
Excessive production of oil (sebum)
Hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, and menstruation
Birth control pills
High levels of humidity in the environment
Sweating
Certain cosmetics or products meant for facial use
Eating greasy foods
Genetic predisposition
