i think i left it on too long, so now it burns a lot. should i put oil on it? my sister says neospporin, so i will try that, but still, whats the best thing? and it needs to heal within like 12 hours...i have school and a dental appt. tomorrow! cold feels good on it, but is that really ok for it? thanks!!!!I just used a delipitory cream on my upper lip and now it burns A LOT!!!?
Keep Neosporin on the area and make sure to keep your hands washed and to touch the area as little as possible. When you clean your skin tonight, use a gentle cleanser, such as Cetaphil or any other gentle cleanser, and make sure you keep the area moist. If there are any areas of broken skin, apply Neosporin followed by your heavist moisturizer or a thin layer of vaseline.





Think of it this way: when the skin is injured and broken, it forms a scab, often times when scabs finally fall away there are areas of lighter or darker pigmentation. If we block the scab from ever forming, allowing healing from the inside out, we reduce the chances of any discoloration to the skin.





Chances are you haven't broken the skin, it's just irritated. Just put on Neosporin, some aloe if you have it and you should be fine tomorrow.





Hope you found this helpful,

No oil! It's going to lock out oxygen if you do that, and it needs to heal. Don't mess with it too much or it will get red and puffy. It's just the pores have been exposed and they're not used to it. If it already is puffy, you can use a cold compress tonight, but leave it alone while you sleep.
Do what your sister said to do and then after a while if it was swelled up the swelling will go away , and then put an ice pack on it or sjust like two pieces of ice.
its just irriitated, try waxing next time just dont do anything because it will irritate it more
Hey! At first i had no idea wat in the world you were talking about because you spelled it wrong but i got it... lol... its really depilatory... but that was close enough. Well i am still not so sure what it is... if its like special bleach for your body hair than it's supposed to feel that way. It has to like prickle and sting a bit... but if what im thinking of is not wat your talking about then idk :)
that happened to me before too. cold is good for it. neosporin is good because it helps prevent infection. it will probably be pink in the areas where u put the cream. use some cover up make up if it shows a lot. no biggie. just leave that area alone now. let it heal
