Waxed Eyebrows, Skin Removed, Dark Scab. Using Neosporin, Mederma. Time To Treat Scars?
Hi I have a simple question. I went to the salon two days ago and got my eyebrows waxed. After she was done the next day I realized a portion of my skin underneath my eyebrow was ripped off and it turned into a darkish kind of scab look about the same length as my eyebrow directly underneath it. I wanted to know how long is this going to take to heal? I m applying Neosporin and Mederma to it regularly but I m freaking out because I don t want it to scar .

Hi,
You do not worry about any possibility which is scaring you. I request you to wait until your scab falls naturally. The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them other wise it can get infected and can cause complications.You do not apply any other cream as it can cause sensitivity and thus pigmentation.
