How Can I Get Rid Of The Scars Caused After Waxing?
I'm 20 y/o & I removed my facial hair with wax last night. And since then there are patches of redness in different parts of my face, They are so red and different from my face color and I fear it's a burn! What should I do now to get rid of this? How long will it take to get healed and will it leave a scar? Thank you! :)

Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic.
I would keep a possibility of dermatitis resulting as a result of waxing.
If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone, twice daily for 3-5 days, which would be enough.
