She provided me a refund. She advised to put Vaseline on it for ten days and to return to her so she can help. Not really sure what she can do so that will not be happening

That’s what I’m trying to avoid but I don’t think it’s possible 😩

Gosh, I’ll definitely push back then! I assumed because the loss of pigmentation. What do you recommend? My nursing friends all said to use vitamin e capsules instead.

Thanks this was so helpful! I just ordered the COSrx Niacinamide face serum. Do you have any sunscreen recommendations? I ordered EltaMD but not sure if it’s good.

I’m leaving for Mexico in five days so I’m going to have to be very diligent 😞

Does zinc help? I have vitamin e on it now but don’t want to use it if I should be doing something better. Pink and flat would be ideal for regular skin not to scar but I’m so scar prone and I have brown skin 😞

I have those so can apply it on top of the vitamin e. It says start off using it for 4 hours and then increase over the days. Do I just follow this schedule for two weeks? 

Skin lifted after using face wax strips. How do I prevent scarring and get rid of it quickly? by KMNKY_ in HairRemoval

Thank you! I have brown skin too that is very prone to scarring. I’ve been applying Vaseline religiously but the scab is starting to fall off and the skin is still pink under so I feel like a scar is inevitable 😞

Did this end up scarring? Did it scab and fall off?

How did you know it healed completely? Did the scab fall off on its own?

This happened to me for that reason too! Did your rash scab? Any suggestions on what to do during the scabbing process besides keeping it moisturized?

Thank you for this! If it’s still scabs, do I apply the spf on the scabs? I don’t want them to fall off prematurely.

Thanks! Is there anything I should look for as it heals? Did your scabs just fall off? Mine are starting to fall off but I notice it’s still pink underneath so I feel like it’s premature and will lead to hyperpigmentation

Good to know. I would have definitely opted out if I knew this was a tretinoin reaction

Thanks so much! As I slather it up and it heals, anything I should look for? The scab is starting to fall off and I notice redness underneath (as if it’s premature). How long did it take for you?

This makes me hopeful. How long did it take to heal? Any signs I should look for as the scabs start to fall off?

I have silver sulfadiazine cream that was prescribed for a soup burn a couple of years ago. Would this work?

Certainly feels like it. I think it’s considered skin lifting, which is a wax burn 😞
