hello,
You can wax again but obviously making sure the Folliculitis is completely cleared. Did you get antibiotics?
When waxing you MUST make sure the area is completely cleansed-apply the wax with the direction of the hair growth, firmly push the strip again in the direction of growth then hold the skin taught pulling sharply away from hair growth.
When all hair is gone apply an afterwax lotion or aloe vera gel with cotton wool making sure not to touch the area or have heat treatments for the next 12-24 hours.
Folliculitus (folliculitis) isnt a reaction its an infection so if its done properly you should be fine.
I would advise getting your waxing done professionally.
Hope this helps
