Will i get an ugly scar from eyebrow piercing after it got infected?

Eyebrow piercing: If properly treated and an abscess is avoided, loss of hair can be minimized and healing may proceed uneventfully with minimal scarring.

Hope not: I hope the piercing has been removed. If not, it needs to be. The brow is a pretty forgiving area as regards scarring. The main thing is to keep the site clean by washing with soap and water several times a day, perhaps apply Bacitracin ointment after washing, and generally get the infection cleared up asap. If it does not improve quickly, see your doctor.

Possibly.: Infection can result in a poor scar. There are two recommendations. First let the infection totally subside and possibly consider scar revision at least six months later, after an evaluation by a plastic surgeon. Second, avoid any future piercings, since you may be prone to infections.

Scar Risk Factors: Infection and delayed healing can certainly increase your risk of poor scarring. You should consult with a physician who is versed in scar management to plan the best course of treatment to optimize your healing and scarring.
