Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

Ingrown hair is the most likely reason behind the appearance of bumps. This condition is most common in upper inner thighs, where the hairs are curly, therefore once the hair regrow after waxing they may re-enter the skin causing bumps.

You may avoid this condition by not waxing.

However, Laser Hair reduction is the most reliable remedy and also the long lasting one.

Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel can be used twice daily for already existing bumps.
