What Causes Bumps On The Anal Cavity After Waxing?
Hi there, I have a small cluster of white bumps close to my anal cavity after waxing. Brazilian. Is it a skin reaction or should I be more concerned? This is the second time I ve had waxing in that area. I noticed it before also. It feels a little uncomfortable and sensitive.

Hello,
I think there can be an infection of hair follicles because of waxing called folliculitis.
I think you can better use an ointment with antibiotics such neomycin or gentamicine to treat infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
