Suggest Home Remedies For A Brown Scar On The Upper Lip
I waxed my upper lip and I guess I pulled off the skin so it started to burn and turned red. Soon after it swelled up and stayed that way for a day in half even though I had put ice on non stop. Than the swelling went away but there s now this brown rough scar on the side of my upper lip. It s kind of pealing off as well. How will it go away? Is there any home remedies that might help?

welcome to Heath care magic,
it seems u have had an abrasion. Which is now on heeling phase, just let it peal it self .it will take couple of days, mostly without leaving any scar. If scar remains, consult a Doctor to intervene.
