What Causes Itching Sensation In Neck And Face After Threading?

Hi nearly 2 months ago I had face & neck threading since then my face & especially my neck are constantly itchy. I have tried antihistamines, aloe vera, paw paw cream etc & nothing stops this itching. It is driving me crazy. Have a feeling that I am allergic to them, but the surgeon who put them in said this is normal. It's not, because I have a rash all over my neck. What can I do besides have them taken out?

Hi,

It seems that after threading, skin of neck and face might become sensitive. You may be having irritant contact dermatitis. There may be some cause like housedust,pollutant,cosmetics,powder,soap,clothes, fume,sunrays..etc . And stress or worries may exacerbate the disease. Be calm. And consult dermatologist for perfect diagnosis and treatment. Antihistaminics like levocetirizine and steroids in tappering doses may be taken. Mild steroid cream may improve the disease. Avoid contact with suspected irritants. You may be improved. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
