Suggest Treatment For Pimples On Face After Threading

Posted on Mon, 7 Dec 2015

Question: For some time now whenever I pluck my eyebrows they immediately form red pimple like marks and it happens the same places every time I tweezer.

Answered by Dr. Dr. Kakkar (34 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Likely due to trauma of plucking; avoid plucking if possible

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic.

I have gone through your query and I have understood your concern.
These likely happens due to follicular trauma as a result of plucking. I suggest you to use a moderately potent topical steroid cream e.g triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream, twice daily. The cream would help resolve these faster.

Once the area scabs and clears up I wait for a few months before plucking again but each time the same place on my eyebrow blisters up and happens all over again? Will this ever stop?

Brief Answer:
Try using triamcinolone acetonide cream after plucking

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

You may try using a topical steroid cream (triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream) after plucking rather than using a witch XXXXXXX cream.
