How To Treat Raised, Red, Fluid Filled Bumps Caused Due To Threading Eyebrows, Upper Lip And Chin?

I had my eyebrows, Upper lip and chin threaded to remove facial hair. Now I have raised, red, fluid filled bumps that look like pimples, but they are itchy. I washed with cool water, tried hydrocortisone ointment,
Took benadryl and even tried aloe Vera. Nothing is helping. Please help.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

I can understand your concern for raised, red, fluid filled bumps caused due to threading eyebrows, upper lip and chin. I can make a possibility of Allergic dermatitis due to threading.

In Allergic dermatitis there are eruptions along with moderate itching and in more aggravated cases there is appearance of more redness which persist for more than mutiple of days.

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. If I were your treating then would have prescribed a medium potency steroid cream application such as mometasone or fluticasone cream. You can take antihistamine benadryl or loratadine by mouth.

Take care.
