This is waxing induced folliculitis. Folliculitis occurs due to damage following hair removal. Damaged hair follicles are more vulnerable to invading bacteria. When bacteria such as staph bacteria, which are naturally present on the skin infect the hair follicles, folliculitis can occur. Medication depends on the skin type and the extent of the lesions. Consult a Dermatologist fort he same.
