I had my eyebrows professionally waxed I have a sore where she waxed?

This may not necessarilly be the professional's fault...."Some physicians do not recommend hair waxing for persons suffering from diabetes or who have varicose veins or poor circulation as they are more susceptible to infection.

Users of Retin-A, Renova, Differin or Accutane are advised not to use hair waxing on the face as these medications tend to weaken the skin and tearing of the skin may occur when the wax is removed." http://ezinearticles.com/?Waxing-Hair-Removal:-Ans...

If any of the above applies to you then this is probably why you had this reaction, and you shouldn't wax.

Wax that is too hot could have also caused the reaction you had. The wax should be just barely warmer than your skin. Ask the professional to test it on his/her own skin (or wrist) to be sure it's not too hot.

Use a medicated cooling aloe-vera gel on the area. If it becomes worse or doesn't begin to heal within a few days, then you should see your doctor for further evaluation treatment of the problem.

~Also here are some other things to remember when you wax:

Both shaving and waxing can cause ingrown hairs.

Here are some important things to remember ESPECIALLY after waxing:

-DON'T use lotions, oils, or anything with fragrance on the area for about 24hrs or more. Those kinds of things are one of the biggest causes of ingrown hairs, bc once you've shaved or waxed, especially when you've waxed, your pores stay open for awhile and those products tend to clog and/or irritate the pores, causing the new hair growth to go in the wrong direction - into your skin.

-Instead of lotions, oils, or fragranced products, use a fragrance free, cooling aloe vera gel, immediately after waxing and for a few days more.

-Be sure that the area being waxed or shaven is clean.

-Apply a bit of baby powder to the area being waxed to keep the wax from sticking to your skin as much.

- There are also special creams/gels that you can purchase at your local drug/beauty supply store that help prevent ingrown hair that you can use afterwards.

-The next few times you shower, use a loofah to exfoliate the area, this keeps things from clogging your pores and also helps keep your skin from growing over the open pores.

-Now, you may still get ingrown hairs, there are also creams/gels for treatment of ingrown hairs that you can also find at drug/beauty supply stores.

-Another thing you can do is use sharp tweezers to carefully remove the thin layer of skin from on top of the ingrown hair, once you've done that, you should be able to pluck the ingrown hair easily, afterwards, apply a little of the fragrance-free cooling aloe vera gel to calm the area. Removing the ingrown hair with tweezers should be done as soon as you notice it, otherwise the layer of skin over the hair may become too thick.

She wasn't a professional then because i waxed my own eyebrows at home and I had a sore for like five seconds then it went away.Go get your money back.I don't know what could heal it,but go see a doctor and see what he says.

Maybe you try some Triple Antibiotic Ointment? Call the salon where you had it done and ask them what you should do.

I get my brows waxed all the time and I always get bumps that last for a few days afterward because my skin reacts to the chemicals they use to numb you and condition your skin.

Good luck.

neosporin an over the counter cream will clear this up in 2 days.

it is cheap too like 3 dollars

You have a small bacterial infection where she ripped the skin.

Sorry hope you feel better soon

don't wear make up on it. you can use hydrocortizone cream twice a day or neosporin until it heals

Damn.. step away from the hot wax....

Uhmmm. don't ever go to that person again! use coco butter!
