Hi..

The scar caused due to waxing and ripping of the lip cannot be treated overnight and it needs a few days for the skin to get healed and a new skin layer to recur in that area..

Yes, you can apply Fucidin ointment in that area and do cool compresses over it..

Along with it you should also avoid touching or peeling the layer formed over it so that let it heal naturally,,,

Applying Vaseline over it can also be done to keep it lubricated and will help in healing better..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
