I burnt the skin under my underarm with hot wax & it is 2 shades darker.I don't know what to do or how to fix it --So I waxed the hair under my underarms and after 3 weeks I noticed that there is a dark patch under my underarm where I waxed it. I think I burnt it. I started applying original POLYSPORIN under my underarm every night but I only noticed a slight difference. So I basically need to know What I can do to heal it and remove the dark patch of what I think is the mark of a 3 week burn(will tea tree oil or olive oil help) ? and Can I re-wax my underarms if not can I sugar it?( Sugaring- another method of hair removal of a natural sugar and lemon based subsatance which is used for hair removal) PLEASE HELP!

Well, if there is a scab there, just put peroxide on it twice a day and try putting a band-aid on it so that it won't be exposed to air. It will already take a while to heal, but with the peroxide it should heal faster and for sure healthier. Hope that helps!!

Ooowww! That hurts! Don't wax, that's for sure, not until you're healed. Lots of hydrating cream until healed or Vitamin E. Sugaring is a lot like waxing, it will take surface cells off and could reopen a wound. Be patient, let it heal and then go to a licensed esthetician that uses hard wax (cooler wax and stripless) it's much easier on the skin!

I always use Vitamin E (NOT E-oil!) to take care of a burn. Break a capsule open and apply. Leaves no scar! Warning: may ge messy but it works. If Vitamin E is not practical: Aloe Vera gel (100% pure) available at most any drugstore in the lotions section. Next time: IMMEDIATELY apply COLD water for as long as you can until the burning stops may take up to an hour (too late now) Then apply one of the other remedies above. Take car of your skin first. You need to put your health before vanity

I have no clue what you did to your underarms. Id think if you used overly hot wax you would have felt a burning afterward.
Stay away from waxing for at least a month. If you can, use neosporin at night. If the burn is healed you can try mederma. Alternatively you can try a lightening cream.

Basically, it takes time for skin to regain normal coloration after trauma. The best you can do is not to wax your underarms for few weeks by yourself (visit a professional beautician).

Try buying capsules of vitamin e...poke a hole in the capsule and squirt the oil on the burn. You can also swallow capsules in addition to this. Other things may help - check with Wild Oats or Whole Foods or another health food store.

If it's not healed yet, you can try Aloe Vera. If it is I suggest using Vitamin E oil. You could probably do a mix of both. Tea tre oil is more for antibacterial use than scarring.

try rubbing a sliced tomato on it for a couple nights in a row, about 4 or 5 nights, and see if that helps.

Rub vitamin E oil on it daily. If that
doesn't start showing results, go
to your doc.
