I have very sensitive skin. Would dermabrasion be a good option?
My skin reacts negatively to anything that I touch. If i slightly scratch it or my clothes rub onto my skin, it swells up and itches like crazy. My skin rises and tuns red wherever I have scratched. This often happens on my face as well. I wanted to try dermabrasion but given my skin irritation issues, would that be a good idea?

Dermabrasion is probably not a good idea if you have sensitive skin. However, if you really wanted to try the procedure, you could do a small test area to see how it affects your skin.
