Greetings. This is something very common to happen after waxing and is called as wax folliculitis. It keeps relapsing everytime such a procedure is done.It can be more problematic if you are using hair oils. So consider discontinuation of oils and using an antifungal shampoo everyday for first week and then reduce the application to twice a week for maintenance. You should keep the shampoo at-least for 5 minutes on the scalp for it to act. This should solve your problem. However if problem persists, consult a Dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment and to rule out any other skin condition. Hope it helps you.
Next Steps
Nizral or Conaderm are good shampoos to be applied on affected areas of skin.
