A member asked:

I got an allergic reaction after waxing my brows red with heats and my whole face swollen r the readness and heats goin to leave marks on my face?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Shouldn't: The red, swelling and heat of a contact dermatitis should resolve without residual skin changes. Using the same substance again will result in the same or worse reaction and should be avoided.
