Thanks for the query. You can consider chemical peels but i believe you can get this treated even without the peels, Wax folliculitis is a trouble some issue who wax regularly. You can consider laser hair removal for the same. Understand the procedure, merits and demerits and expected results before chosing any. All the best.
