I contacted my microblader on the fourth day when I noticed pus starting to form. I did not wet my brows. She told me that I may have scratched them while sleeping and they they would dry and flake off within the next 2-3 days. They just kept getting worse and she’s continuously telling me to wait it out. I’ve also noticed that with some of the scabs flaking off, my brow hair has fallen off too? What is going on and what should I do?

Answer: Why are my brows crusty 12 days after microblading and still not healed?
Hi SloanM,A thin brow is easier to manage than microbladed brows that are too thick or too closely knit. Please give your brows a chance to heal. It normally takes six weeks before your brows could get retouched to even them up.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
Not all patients heal the same way or at the same rate. Scabbing, peeling and flaking can be expected day 3-5. Other patients may simply experience slight dryness.
Swelling of the skin can happen post micro-blade, typically minor swelling subsides within the first three days. If selling continues or is severe you may have a skin allergy to the pigment used.
