Hi..thanks for writing here.It seems you are developing folliculitis which is a hair root infection,just try antibiotic cream after hair removal like t bact cream for 2 to 3 days ,you can also take antibiotic tablets for few days if required,use antiseptic soap ,keep area dry and clean ,you can also get your hair removed by lasers ,you have to consult a dermatologist for it.
