Hello Ma'am.
I think you are having post-waxing folliculitis or pseudofolliculitis or both. Both these conditions are seen commonly after waxing and clobetasol cream is not a solution to it. Stop it soon. Seek a dermatologist opinion. If it is only scars then treatment approach would be different from the situation if you have both active pimples & scars, both.
Avoid waxing in future
