I've got a dark brown burn mark on my upper lip from the wax I used yesterday. I'm really worried about it and was hoping you could recommend an ointment or something to help it go away quickly. Any advice?
I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection and promote healing of the burn patch. Apply a thin layer of Neosporin over the affected area twice a day for faster recovery. Additionally, you can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin and reduce inflammation.

I'm taking canditral 200 mg capsule once daily and fluconazole 150 mg capsule every other day for about a month now. How much longer do I need to keep taking this medication? Also, I've been using luliconazole cream on the affected area every night. Should I keep using it?
