Suggest Remedy For Darkening And Peeling Skin Below The Nose After Waxing Procedure
Hi, so I waxed my upper lip at home and I guess I pulled it too hard and at first I was left with my upper lip being red and irritated, it hurt very bad. It s the third day now and it doesn t hurt but it s brown and its peeling and has a very weird texture. I ve been applying neosporin on it so it won t scar but should I be doing anything else? Do you think it is going to scar and how long do you think it will last? Please help

Hello
Due to force full pulling the hair follicle are injured which lead to inflammation.
It may take take 10-15 days to subside completely.
Do not touch repeatedly it may cause infection.
I am suggesting homeopathic medicine which will help you to heal the injury without scar.
Arnica 30 6 pills twice in a day (Orally)
Take medicine for 10 days
Thanks
