Dark pigmentation after upper-lip waxing injury - will this fade?
 | Hi everyone. I’m really panicking about this and would appreciate some advice or similar experiences. I used a wax strip for upper-lip/moustache hair removal about 3 weeks ago. It caused a small skin injury/burn/abrasion. The wound dried and healed, but now there is a dark brown/black flat mark on my upper lip area. The dark mark has looked almost the same for the past 2 weeks. I did not use sunscreen for the first 2 weeks, but I have now started using SPF 50 sunscreen daily and moisturizer. Is this likely to fade with time, or could it be permanent? There is no pain, oozing, or open wound now. It is flat, just dark. I am honestly really worried and anxious about whether this mark will ever go away. I know Reddit can’t replace a dermatologist, but I just want to know if anyone has had something similar. Any general advice would really help. [link] [comments] |
