Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of bumps on face post waxing which occurs when sebaceous gland under the hair follicle get blocked and it is due to excessive hot temperature of wax. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply vitamin E oil at night. Apply apple cider vinegar then wash with warm water twice daily. If bumps still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe ointments containing benzoyl peroxide,azelaic acid or retinoids. Sometimes doctor may also prescribe antibiotics. Don't pick or touch acne. You should avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. Wash you face 2-3 times a day with mild soap and warm water to prevent the accumulation of oil ,dust and bacteria on your face.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain bumps on the face after waxing that does not itch as well as does not have a head seems to be due to inflammation that can occur secondary to waxing as the skin of face is delicate and waxing can lead to injury to soft tissues leading to inflammation and formation of bumps..
You need not to worry as the bumps will resolve gradually on its own..
You can however do cool compresses over the bumps..
You can apply calamine lotion .
You can also take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and anti allergic like Levocetrizine..
In case if the bumps does not regress in size in next one week consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
