    There could be a couple of reasons for this.

    If you are sensitive (rather than allergic) to the wax used then it's possible that you are experiencing a slight reaction.

    If it was one of your first times waxing it may just be that the follicles are not used to that sort of rough treatment and as a result of being opened so quickly they get exposed to bacteria and this and the subsequent immune response causes the spot to breakout.

    Be sure to exfoliate the skin on your back when you shower, use a brush or cloth, this will help prevent clogged follicles thus cleaning them out and at the same time preventing ingrown hairs.

    The ONLY way to get rid of these is exfoliate exfoliate exfoliate!

    The hairs growing back get caught under the skin and continue to grow and
    get red. Sometimes they can also get infected which sounds like what is happening to you.

    Purchase a loofah cloth/ball thing and everytime you shower just scrub like mad.
    It is easier if your other half does it for you!

    This sometimes happens because your pores are still open after waxing and canget clogged up pretty badly. Exfoliating is the best way to get rid of them.

    I heard it too. Yes, I think its normal to have ur skin there a little irritated for few days, try to clean the area very good and they will go away.
    On arms u can get them too ..but i think it depends on the type of the skin and hair if u do the arms as well.
    Good that its not happening in there ......u know ...
