Does anyone else get this?

I waxed my mustache 2 days ago, only the 2nd time I have ever done it, and yesterday I noticed lots of large pimples under the skin, and some tiny white heads. I managed to empty the whiteheads. I remember this happening after the last time I did it which is why I havent done it since. I use a really good antibacterial facewash morning and night and dont wear foundation. Last time I went for my underarm and bikini wax I asked the waxer if she thought I should do my mustache, she said it wasntreally dark and was reluctant to do it cos of the downy hair all over my face, it might look odd with a completely bald patch in the middle. But after it was annoying me so long I decided to do it anyway. Any ideas about the pimples though?

Thanks

Yeah, I suppose so, but I used the same one on underarms and nothing happened there.

i get the whiteheads after an eyebrow wax, and also after electrolysis so for me it's not an allergy to the wax.

the best thing i've found is to dilute tea tree oil with water and use a cotton bud to dap the solution over the waxed areas. this will probably sting (actually, it will definitely sting, haha) but it does a great job of keeping the whiteheads at bay.
