This is a recommendation for anyone who is having work done on their body (not face) and experiencing scabs.
On my electrologist’s suggestion, I’ve started using Aquaphor - it’s horribly greasy but really helps to minimize scabbing. Not sure why this is (something to do with sealing in moisture??) but scabbing happens less and if I use Aquaphor over a week-long period, it helps to prevent them falling off too soon. And things are a lot less red.
Worth trying if you are at your wit’s end (as I was)!
