Burning Feeling After Removing Thin Light Brownish Dry Scab In Upper Lip Due To Waxing. Will Fucidin Cream Help?

hello. i waxed my upper lip using those wax strips and seems like i waxed it several times that it affected my skin. When i woke up the next day, a thin light brownish dry scab formed in that area so i peeled it off. Its condition is worse, it's red and I get a burning feeling. Im currently using fucidin cream 2-3 times a day. Is it useful to heal and prevent scar?

Hi,
It seems that due to waxing there is irritating effect on your lip.
Continue fucidin cream locally.
Apply vaseline on lips to keep lips moisture and soft.
Ok and take care.
