Did it bleed? Then you really, really need to see a dermatologist, who might be able to give you special medicine and bandages to prevent scarring. If not, use your own judgement.
My friends were just talking about a lady who had permanent scars from waxing her upper lip . . . . Better safe than sorry.

Ouch! I did that once but to my chin. The price we pay for beauty, huh? It shouldn't scar but just to be sure, try a neosporin or cocoa butter. Vaseline is good too. Anything that will keep the skin well moisturized should aid in the healing process and help prevent scarring

Use triple antibiotic ointment. It will reduce the chance of scaring and infection. You can buy it at the pharmacy without a prescription.

I did that once too, it hurt like a ***** and it looked horrible afterwards.. It sucked. I didn't have any scarring though...

every time i wax something,i was told not to touch it and if it starts to irritate you put cold water on,some soothing lotion might help too
