Ingrown hair.: Waxing or plucking hair can result in ingrown hairs when they grow back in. These can look like small red bumps/pimple like lesions. Gentle circular massage of those areas with a wash cloth and warm water 2-3 times a day can help the follicles to open back up and loosen the ingrown hairs. Watch for any spreading redness or spots that become larger and ooze pus as this may require antibiotics.
