I've been dealing with this black scar on my upper lip ever since I waxed it five months ago, and it's starting to worry me. I've tried using Mederma SPF 30 cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I've attached an image of the scar. Could you recommend a good cream or medicine that might work?

I'm a little worried because I have two cans of Volini spray that expired in May 2020, but I've never even opened them. Do you think it might still be safe to use them, or is that not a good idea? I spent a pretty penny on these, so I'm hesitant to just throw them away. Can you offer any advice or is there any leeway with using products past their expiration like this?

Using expired Volini spray (May 2020) is not recommended, as its potency, safety, and efficacy may be compromised, potentially leading to reduced effectiveness or adverse reactions; it's best to err on the side of caution and discard the expired product, even if unopened.
