Folliculitis: This sounds like it might be folliculitis rather than "pimples." When you wax you pull out the hair from the root, increasing the risk of ingrown hairs. Be sure to exfoliate well before and after waxing to help prevent this. If it persists and/or happens often talk with your doctor about a topical antibiotic ointment to treat it. www.OmahaCosmeticSurgery.com
