This is more like Waxing induced folliculitis. There is effective medication for the same. Prolonged waxing will lead to ingrowing hair and also damage the skin eventually. Consider Laser Hair Reduction. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.

Folliculitis is a bacterial infection of the hair follicles common after waxing. Do take a consultation to treat the same.
