I've been dealing with white bumps on my back and front area after waxing, and it's been about three days now. They're painful and super itchy. Do you have any advice on what might help?

You may be experiencing folliculitis, which is inflammation of the hair follicles. You can try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the inflammation and itching. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine to help with the itching. To prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin.

I've been using Melas cream for about 23 days, and now my face is turning red. What should I do to get rid of this redness? Is it normal, or should I stop using the cream? Would appreciate any advice!

To alleviate redness caused by Melas cream, discontinue use, apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer (e.g., Cetaphil, Aloe vera), and use a cool compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to reduce inflammation; if redness persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.
