i wax my upper lip. i tried a new wax strip, because i was out of the ones i usually use, and it left a red mark on my upper lip. i used the soothing stuff that it gave me. and it still left a red mark. its all across my upperlip. i can kinda sorta cover it up with makeup, but i dont want to have to keep my head down all day at school tomorrow. i really need something to do so i can make the redness go away FOR GOOD by tomorrow morning. anything, like, maybe putting ice or something on it, or whatever. i just need the redness to go down and not come back by tomorrow. it keeps waring down everyday if that helps.
You can try keeping it cool, try to relax your upper lip as much as possible, the swelling should go down soon. If you can, get the a pharmacy and ask for something called hydrocortisone cream, it's good with skin irritations and rashes, it helps with the inflamation and reduces the redness. if yuo can't get the the pharmacy, try using sloe vera, it's naturally soothing and should cool your upper lip down.
