I got my eyebrows done and now I have red marks by my eyebrow. What can I do to prevent scarring? I am in Accutane for a month.

Question

What can I do to prevent scarring??

Michael A. Greenberg, MD · Answer

Not a good idea!!However, I doubt that you actually scarred your skin, more probably just inflamed and irritated it.You can get 1% Hydrocortisone over the counter and it should,within a day or two solve the problem.Meanwhile, don't wax again until you are done with the treatment.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

First, you should NOT wax while on Accutane. You can use OTC hydrocortisone on the red areas. But in the future, don't wax while taking Accutane - it's not advisable! "This
