Rash after waxing: Your rash may be related to the trauma of the wax or a reaction to the wax. I would recommend having your doctor evaluate the rash to determine whether it is a contact reaction or an infection.

Waxing bumps: A steroid cream might be applied to decrease inflammation. Exfoliation may be recommended to remove dead skin cells with retinoids. For secondary infections your physician may recommend oral or topical antibiotics.
