Itching bumps after face waxing are commonly due to skin irritation, folliculitis, or mild allergic reaction. Avoid touching or scratching the area. Apply cold compress and soothing aloe vera gel to reduce irritation. You may use a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer. Avoid makeup for 1–2 days. If redness, pus, or severe itching persists, proper skin evaluation is advised. You may visit our clinic for assessment and appropriate treatment or online consultation.

Provisional diagnosis is irritant contact dermatitis , treatment prescribed should be based on the physical appearance of your lesions over the skin . So a clear photograph is needed to give a perfect medication . Also avoid OTC products or any mix combination of steroid creams from the market which can further cause irritant contact dermatitis.

For the itching burning feeling, perhaps you can try applying a cream like Fucidin-H twice daily for 1-2 days with a Dermatologist's prescription.
