Microblading Practice Exam

What can excessive redness after microblading indicate?

1. Normal healing

2. High pigment retention

3. A potential infection

4. Allergic reaction to pigments

The correct answer is: A potential infection

Excessive redness after microblading can indicate a potential infection. In the healing process, some redness and inflammation are normal reactions as the skin undergoes trauma and begins to heal. However, if the redness is significantly pronounced and persists beyond the expected healing timeline, it may signal an underlying issue such as an infection. An infection can develop if bacteria enter the skin through the microblading process, leading to inflammation, discomfort, and possible discharge. It's important to monitor for other symptoms of infection, such as swelling, fever, or pus, alongside excessive redness, to determine if professional medical attention is necessary. Understanding the healing process and distinguishing between normal reactions and signs of complications like infection plays a critical role in post-microblading care.
