around new years day i waxed my upper lip with waxing strips unaware that it could burn if i waxed one area too many times. the burn healed up but now i have a patch of skin that is darker than the rest...it is very noticeable.how can i get the mark to disappear? I ve been applying Neosporin every night but havent noticed a change.
Hi, It seems that the burnt area has healed with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Application of newsprint would not help in reducing the pigmentation. To treat the same, use a good sunscreen and apply HY Chat Doctor.  With in few weeks the pigmentation should subside. You may also take spot chemical peels to reduce pigmentation. Hope that answers your query. Take care.
