Hello to all of you acne haters!
For the last year, I have been using epiduo, retin a, and doxycycline (probably spelled that wrong) to combat my moderate acne. Recently, my dermatologist recommended that I start accutane, and I am now on my second day, only 148 left. Time to start using moisturizers and chapstick!
I have very hairy eyebrows, and, not knowing that this is typically bad for people using retin a, I have been getting my eyebrows waxed every 3 or 4 weeks. I have never had any problems with this, and I am wondering if since I was fine with waxing on retin a, if I would be fine waxing on accutane?
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
DO. NOT. WAX. I repeat, don't wax.
You may be able to get away with it since it is the very beginning of your course, but in my opinion, it's not even worth the risk. After the first month or so though, waxing WILL rip your skin off. There were times during my course that I had to be careful even SHAVING because my skin was so easily broken, and I know I am not in the minority.
Threading may be a possibility, although you may want to discuss it with the nurse.
