Hello! I’ve had my first electrolysis session on my upper lip January 22, and I still have redness and reddish-brownish spots on it. I was using calendula lotion on it for the first week after (my electrologist told me to), after a week the redness wasn’t going away so I made an appointment with their dermatologist. She said my skin wasn’t burned and that I could be allergic to the metal the needle was made of, or calendula (I never was allergic to either of these, also what kind of allergy doesn’t go away 1,5 months later?), told me to stop using calendula and prescribed Baneocin powder and Locoid cream for 4 days. They didn’t help. I contacted them again, she prescribed Synthomycin (I don’t know if other countries have it, I live in Russia, but it’s an antibacterial cream). It didn’t help either. Now I’m using Levomecol (antimicrobial + antiphlogistic cream) and I guess it kiiiinda goes away but really slowly and I’m not even sure I’m not just imagining it?
I didn’t notice anything weird during the procedure except I had whiteheads for the first few days (apparently you’re not supposed to?).
So the questions are: 1) What could this be because my dermatologist doesn’t know, she only said this is the first case of something like this in 15 years of her working for that salon? 2) Will it go away eventually? and 3) if it does go away, should I give it another try or does it mean this method is not for my skin?
What it looks like now (the brownish skin around nose wings and the redness on chin are NOT a result of electrolysis):
