I've got these wax marks on my face from lighting a lantern during Diwali. Some wax fell on my lip and now there's a noticeable dark mark on both my lip and upper lip, and they've been there for about two weeks. I'm really worried about how to get rid of them. Any advice on what I can do?

View allI'm having this weird issue where I feel pain in my anus after ejaculation, and it's starting to worry me. Could someone explain what might be causing this? Also, who would be the right specialist to consult about this?
I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection and promote healing. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any pain or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the boil does not improve or gets worse, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really concerned about my lip color. My upper lip is much darker compared to my lower lip, and I really want them to have a rosy hue. Are there any remedies or treatments you would recommend to help even out the color? I could really use some advice.
To achieve rosy lips and reduce the darkness of your upper lip, try these remedies: apply a mixture of lemon juice, honey, and sugar; exfoliate with a gentle lip scrub; use a lip balm or lip gloss containing natural ingredients like beetroot, turmeric, or pomegranate; massage your lips with coconut oil or olive oil; and avoid smoking, excessive tea or coffee consumption, and exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
