I am on isotretinoin and am wondering what type of hair removal would be best for me?

Asked By:bottomsup17 in Los Angeles, CA

I have been on accutane for two months at 60 mg/day (max dose for my weight) - I have dark skin and dark hair and used to get brazilian waxes regularly to remove hair from my pubic area. I know waxing would be too harmful for my skin in its current state so I'm wondering what are other safe alternatives (nair, shaving, laser, etc.)? I'm nervous because I recently had my eyebrows threaded and my skin reacted very negatively to it (itchy, painful, and bumpy), which it had never done before.
