Yeah, dumb thing to do but now I have HUUUUGE scabs on my upper lip! I waxed two days ago, and yesterday it was just red and swollen. I've been applying cocoa butter and vitamin e oil to the scabs, but my friend told me that my Carmex would help heal it. which would work better? Cocoa butter + vitamin e oil, carmex, or vitamin a and d ointment?
I want them to be gone by friday, since I got invited to a christmas party (a ton of kids are going =[ )

Apply neosporin to it several times a day to keep it moist. I mean, constantly monitor it throughout the day. Dont let it dry up. By doing this, the scabs should off easily in a few days. The carmex is to irritating. And DONT pick!

If it is scabbed over just leave it alone, scabs are natures band-aids, healing is occurring underneath. It will require up to 7 days to heal and slough off. If it is red and swollen you may have infection. If the areas are infected, use a cotton ball to put hydrogen peroxide on the scabbed areas. If it is just swollen from the waxing itself, try some cool-cold compresses.
