You waxed to get smooth, not to get red bumps.
Immediately after waxing, we swab the area with an astringent containing salicylic acid to dissolve the dead skin that can trap hairs. Then we layer on a hydrocortisone cream or aloe gel to reduce redness and swelling. If the red dots don't go away after a week, you may be looking at an all-too-common case of folliculitis—an inflammation of the hair follicle frequently caused by bacteria. Washing with salicylic acid cleansers daily can help.
