Microblading infection? I had my brows microbladed 13 days ago. (Photos)

ktchloeDec 13, 2017
I can see some red area under the hairs still. I was told to use aquaphor since treatment and not to get area wet. I have not got the area yet. I haven’t washed them. I did use some bacitracin after scratching while I was sleeping and area looked a little red. All of the pictures I see everyone’s brows look good by this day but mine are faded and some redness. Doesn’t seem to be infected but Idk. Any input?
