Burning & Redness Noticed In Ears Due To Hot Wax

I was waxing between my eyebrows and some of it got on my eye lid. No irritation from waxing strip but burning and redness for about 2 hours now on my eyelid. Used water, cold wash cloth. Burning is still intense and more red. Help please. What can I use to stop this?

Hi,
It seems that there might be irritation or chemicalburn due to waxing material on sensitive eye lid skin.
Apply ice pack for a day or two.
apply caladryl lotion on eyelid.
If burning pain is more take ibuprofen as and when required.
Ok and take care.
