About a week ago I waxed my upper lip with wax strips that warm between your fingers. Usually they work fine, but I think I over-waxed or got too close to my lip and it became tender and a bunch of red bumps developed in the corner of my mouth. The sores scabbed a little, but keep cracking open when I eat or talk. Also, I have two dark spots (maybe dry skin or scarring?) that appeared on the waxing site a few days later... I'm in worse shape now than I was before I waxed! I have tried Neosporin, A&D ointment, and Campho-Phenique, mostly for the pain, but I don't see much improvement I just want these ugly things to heal faster and not leave scars. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think you're on the right track with Neosporin and so forth. Things like this around the mouth can be unsightly and hard to heal because they often reopen as you have mentioned. Just hang in there!

get some feta cheese, an olive, 2 onions, 1 pickle, can of tuna fish, 1 tomato mix it together in a blender, spred the paste on your lip before you go to bed at night for 1 or 2 nights and it should be gone.

don't pick at them to avoid scarring and use a lip balm or chapstick keep doing what your doing it will heal eventually
