How To Treat An Open Wound At The Corner Of The Lip?
I have a burn at the corner of my lip from hot lip waxing. It is 6 days old. The part at the hinge of the mouth cannot scan and heal like the outside has been, because it is closed when I sleep and moving all day when I talk. I have been putting vitamin E or Aloe Gel on it. It is clean and not infected. But the corner of the mouth is raw and skin is still open. How can I help that heal?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can apply Megaheal gel twice a day for 10days. But there is a need to confirm if it got infected with fungus or not. This area is prone to have fungal infection. So you should visit a dermatologist.
Hope my answer was helpful. If you have any other question I’ll be glad to help.
Regards,
Dr. Surajit Gorai
