I went to get my eyebrows and upper lip waxed before a wedding and the day after I broke out really bad. I have acne already and these bumps don't look like the kind i usually get. I have no idea what they are or how to get rid of them. There are so many of them and they are really tiny. Please help !
Go talk to them? try find out why. If it is a allergic reaction cause they changed product they should do skin tests

it's folliculitis. Don't get waxed there again, try tweezing instead. You will just have to wait until your skin heals and you can ice the area to reduce inflammation.
I have had an allergic reaction to lip hair remover and i have found that the Carmex chapstick works the best on red,irritated,dry, pealing skin. Mine was so made that a section of my lip was cracked open and it extremely painful. The carmex certainly helped. It's available at walmart you should try it!
That happens to me no matter what type of wax is used. I get waxed 3-5 days before a major event so I don't have any bumps and I put baby ointment on where I got waxed. Hope that helps!
I agree with Victoria, take some Benadryl or get some of the creme and put it on. Maybe some Neosporin or any other kind of antibiotic ointment as well to avoid any infection.

Oh man. I've gone there so many times before and this was the first time this happened. They probably changed their product.

Take an ice cube wrapped in a cloth and hold it there for a few minutes see if they go down

Take an antihistamine - Benadryl, Claritin, any allergy medicine.

Agree with jena, and it could be improper waxing and they broke the hairs off

Try popping open an Advil liqui gel and apply the gel to the problem spots.

If its an allergic reaction, take antihistamine like Benadryl. If its an infection like folliculitis, I would try polysporin ointment.
