I have small red bumps that look like pimples on my upper arms that are itchy! no idea why? i waxed my arms about a week ago, very itchy bumps

Folliculitis: Inflammation of the hair follicle occurs for many reasons, but when associated with shaving usually is caused by a dull razor, sensitivity to the shaving/ hygeine product or friction by clothing. Trauma from hair extraction through waxing may also produce this.

Agree w Dr. Russo.: A steroid cream might be applied to decrease inflammation. Both waxing and shaving can cause this.
