Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
My advise would be to avoid sunbathing till the lesions heal completely. Waxing can induce infection of hair follicles or folliculitis as well as pimples. I would advise that you meet a dermatologist nearby so that appropriate treatment can be advised after analysing your affected skin.
Hope this helped.
Take care
