What Causes Peeling Of Skin On Face While Waxing?
Hi I had the sides of my face waxed today and it seems that a layer of my skin has peeled off. It s not currently burning and I have applied sudocrem to it as advised by the beautician. I was wondering if I should leave it with sudo or should I/ can I apply fucidin cream to the affected areas? Also how long before redness and shiney skin disappears? Thanks

Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the waxing done of the face so it is it may cause the burning of skin it is the thermal injury of course it is superficial burn hence cause the skin peeling later on, actually it is just nothing to do but wait for some time and it will be okay soon be patience, no need to apply any cream or ointment hope this information helps.
