Pimple-like bumps on my back
A week after getting my back waxed, I've noticed small red, pimple-like bumps on my back. They are not filled with pus (at least not that I've noticed). I know the spa I went to is sanitary. I've exfoliated my back gently in the days following and have made sure to keep the area clean....please help, I have a party to go to and my dress is backless

Based on your description it looks like a wax folliculitis which is a common condition. Sometimes they co-exist with fungal folliculitis and can be determined with more precision during a consultation. Kindly consult a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and treatment plan. It is also important to prevent their relapse once you have got it cured. You can opt for laser hair reduction in future.
Next Steps
You should definitely consider your treatment under the guidance of an expert qualified dermatologist
