Suggest Remedy For Red, Peeling Skin After Waxing The Eyebrows With Lump Under It

I got my eyebrows waxed in Friday and they were super red and peeling underneath for a couple days afterwards, there is also a lump under my right eyebrow that makes me look like I got punched in the eye. I tried to ice, put moist heat on it and tried to pop it cause I thought it was a pimple at first. It s not going away and it s been 5 days. What should I do?

hello

It looks you have developed post waxing folliculitis. Take a course of antibiotics ( cephalosporin/ penicillin/ macrolides group).

Thanks
