If your teenager (or you even!) uses an epilator....

[Milliways]

PLEASE get them to exfoliate regularly.

DD now has 9 stitches and a 7cm scar from the result of a very abnormal (but does happen) reaction to an ingrowing hair!

A suspicious spot type thing was dismissed by GP, turned into a lesion, grew & refused to heal. A biopsy eventually confirmed the likely hair!!

Be warned!

Ouch!

Hope she is OK now. Nasty thing to happen

We had to laugh really - in absolute relief that it wasn't anything else more sinister.

She is feeling a bit miffed, but the lesion would never heal and at least the scar will fade over time.

Just wanted to warn other users to keep an eye out.

how horrible for her - they scare me anyway !
