This is waxing induced folliculitis and it can b associated with allergic dermatitis also leading to itching. It can b coz of the wax per se or the waxing procedure which causes trauma to the skin. Consult a Dermatologist for the same to prevent further progression of the lesions.
Health Tips
avoid waxing in the future and go for laser hair Reduction.
