Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi doctor, I waxed my upper lips this morning and it s been almost 10 hours now it s still burning. My skin has turned a bit dark on the lips and I m not sure whether it s a burn or the wax is still on my skin. Please help. What should I do ? I can t laugh eat or talk.
Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
you were not suppose to wax the upper lip as it is a sensitive skin. you can use moisturizing cream for soothing effect. the darkening is a result of injury to sensitive skin. it may take some time for the discoloration to clear off.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards! Dr. Arunmozhi varman
