Burnt skin

I burnt my skin few days ago while using the veet wax strip for my upper lips…anyway, i used cream on it religiously for 2 days and it healed but it left pigmentation on that part :frowning: what do i do now?

Re: Burnt skin

Aah, happened to me too. :hinna:

You’ll have to wait for it to be gone completely, in the meanwhile try aloe vera gel and ice cubes! Hope it gets better soon.

Re: Burnt skin

thnx.

wl ice cube be of any help now that it has healed bt left a mark behind?!

Re: Burnt skin

If it doesn't heal and it bothers u just stick a silicone strip on it to flatten it and make the colour fade right down, I have a raised burn on my arm and my plastic surgeon suggested 'ScarEase.' It's worked brilliantly.. they also do a gel version for ppl who have burns or scars on places like the face..

Re: Burnt skin

silicone strip?! hmm ok wl see. thanks again.

Re: Burnt skin

^ Yes, check this out:

before and after scar pictures, ScarEase fades scars and helps reduce the size of your scar

There are other brands with similar products, don’t know how well they work tho..

Re: Burnt skin

Re: Burnt skin

oh wow same thing happened to me..im so thick i used the one for legs on my face....i used it on my chin and it burnt like hell....it went awya after 2 weeks...the burnt skin falls off after few days, and the marks wetn away after 2 weeks...i used aloe vera gel on it....

maybe give it another week...

Re: Burnt skin

standard bio-oil will reduce and eventually eliminate hyperpigmentation, but you'll probably heal naturally anyway

its important to keep the initial wound infection free to limit scar tissue formation. use dry iodine spray for minor burns
