Cellulitis

Hello,
After few sessions of electrolysis I end up with cellulitis. Great i know. Im on antibiotic + epiduo gel for now.
My question is can I continue with electrolysis after everything calms down or is the problem going came back?
Any ideas where possible i went wrong? Is this infection my fault?
Thanks for reading.

sorry confused it with cellulite…

Cellulitis is a skin infection.

Never worry :smiley: they do look similar :wink:

in German the skin infection is written with a Z. … am not a native english speaker :wink:

Electrolysis does not cause cellulitis. Unsanitary conditions related to having electrolysis can. There is too little detail to know what happened in your case. Sterile probe? Sterile forcep? Sanitized office zone? handwashing? Gloves worn? Did you wash your skin before being treated? Was your skin sanitized with alcohol before treatment and after? What did you do after you left the office? Did you continue with good aftercare as prescribed by your practitioner? Did the dog lick your open wounds when you returned home? Was your pillow case clean? Did you touch the area with dirty hands? Did you go in a swimming pool or spa?

I hate to hear that people need antibiotics for this kind of situation. Antibiotics mess up the gut microbiota and should be used carefully.

Thanks Deedra for your reply.

The office looked clean, the area been cleaned with alcohol, gloves been worn, etc… everything been done by the book.
I’m still on antibiotics, hating it. I’ve been growing out my hair for months now :upside_down_face: and can’t wait to try it again. I’m scared but at the same time I need to do something about it now!

Is it possible I’ve got reaction to lye?

I doubt it is a reaction to the lye. Did you document the before and after with quality pictures?
