Aggressive Waxing On Upper Lip, Scab Formation With Reddish Pink Skin Underneath. What Can Be Done To Speed Up Recovery?
Hi, i recently tried to wax my upper lip myself using wax strips by sally hansen...unfortunately i was too aggressive and ended up over doing it on the right side of my upper lip...its been three days, and after a scab was formed (which i peeled) the skin underneath is redish pink... I have to wear makeup to cover it up since i have had to work n interact w/ ppl...is there anything i can do to speed up the recovery...and is this going to leave a permanent scar? Please reply
Hi, Sunny,
Thanks for query.
It seems that due to over waxing on the lips there might be irritation and infection on the part.
Go for an antibiotic medicines for 3-4 days and apply antibiotic and moisturizing cream on the affected part.
It will be healed within few days without having scar.
Ok and bye.
