What Is The Treatment For Sore Upper Lip?

I waxed my upper lip yesterday and it managed to cause a first degree burn. It's still very sore and it's got darker in colour and rougher in texture. I've applied Vaseline to promote healing. How long will it take to heal and will it scar? And is Vaseline good for promoting healing?
