What Causes Dark Skin Discolouration On Upper Lip After Waxing?

Hi,About two weeks ago I waxed my upper lip and it felt normal, but after one day some of the area went a dark colour ( blackish brown ) .I have read a couple of sights saying this was caused by going in the sun, but I can assure you I didn t.I would also like some advice on how to get rid of it with either a homemade remedy or an over the counter product. Thank You x

I really appreciate your concern, it may be due to injury to the tender skin and now it may need soothing agent and best would be Diphenhydramine lotion, and care need to be taken for infection so keep the area clean, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
