I tried using veet cold wax strips on my upper lip for hair removal, and after a couple of tries, it left my skin with a rash and this burning sensation. Now I have these scars and it just keeps burning. Any advice on what to do next?

After experiencing a rash, burning sensation, and scarring from using Veet Cold Wax Strips on your upper lip, apply a soothing topical cream like aloe vera gel, hydrocortisone cream, or calamine lotion to calm the skin, and avoid using wax strips for a while, considering alternative hair removal methods like threading or sugaring.
