What to do if my skin pulled off from eyebrow waxing!!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your wax was too hot: Normal waxing should only pull the hair follicle out, not take the skin with it. If the wax was too hot, it can denude, or exfoliate your skin. This can potentially lead to postinflammatory hyperpigmentation problems. It may be equivalent to having a first degree burn or worse. If it's painful or sore, you need to see a dermatologist or your PCP for further evaluation and treatment. Don't get any more waxing from this person again.
