Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . This common problem among female having sensitive skin. The problem may range from rashes to pimples .

I would suggest you to Not to touch face after threading fir 12 -24 hours , If going outside under sun exposure then you must apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 at least for two days after threading , apply ice cube to face 2-3 times a day and avoid cosmetic products having acidic ph.

Use cream containing azelaic acid twice a day after 24 hours after threading and face wash containing benzoyl peroxide . If condition persist after above treatment the consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment or antibiotics .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
