I used epilator on my face, which has caused redness. Please help.
Patient's Query
Hello Doctor,
Two days ago I used an epilator on my upper lip, it became red and hurts a bit. Then I applied a cream to moisturize it. Today, after shower, I peeled it off. But the redness is still present. What do I do?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- You can clean the wound with warm saline water twice daily.
- You can apply some antibacterial creams like silverex (silver sulfadiazine) or soframycin (framycetin sulphate).
- It will heal on its own in a week's time, if not infected.
If it does not heal, consult a dermatologist online with a detailed history.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
