Brief Answer:
Superficial folliculitis, steroid antibiotic combination

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and you have developed superficial folliculitis due to the waxing.
In such cases I usually recommend my patients to apply a mild steroid antibiotic combination like beclomethasone and fusidic acid combination cream on the affected areas.
Multiple brands are available in the market like niogenta F cream and Fudic BNF cream.
You can use either of the two twice daily for 7-10 days.
It will take 7-10 days to resolve.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
