Skin burn due to upper lip waxing
I tried upper lip waxing using cold wax veet strips and it got burnt a bit. Over the period of time the mark has reduced but still there is a slight brownish tint on the skin. There is no pain. Can you please suggest if I need to apply any ointment? I have fudic cream with me.

Need to assess the depth of burn to suggest appropriate cream. Assuming it is superficial it will heal within 2 weeks without scar provided you use sun protection. There are certain other medication to treat hyperpigmentation for which you can consult online and share pics as well. Hope this helps.

It's post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Can be managed with proper ointments under guidance.
Don't try home remedies or bleach etc. It will worsen the situation.
Avoid sun
