Hello,
Thank you for posting in HCM.
Waxing might have caused little irritation over your lips. Apply good lip balm containing glycerin and soft paraffin thrice a day. If severe irritation persists apply Triamcinolone gel in orabase twice over lips. Avoid scratching/pricking/peeling/licking over the area.Avoid use of any cosmetics over lips for alteast a week.
Hope this will take care of your condition.
Thank you
