Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Today I plucked my eyebrows out more then usual, and naturally I have saggy eyelids but now they got really saggy and seems kind of swollen too. I can actually feel the weight of them on my eye. Did I get some kind of infection or is it just irratation? Should I be worried?
Hi, It seems that due to plucking of eyebrow there might be having irritation produced swelling on the part. If there is more pressure or try to remove it deep might produce some ingrown hair follicle infection. Apply antibiotic cream locally for 2-3 days. If there is active infection then you might require one course of antibiotic medicine course for 3 days. Ok and take care.
