I've been dealing with white bumps on my back and front area after waxing, and it's been about three days now. They're painful and super itchy. Do you have any advice on what might help?

You may be experiencing folliculitis, which is inflammation of the hair follicles. You can try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the inflammation and itching. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine to help with the itching. To prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin.
