I burned my upper lip with facial hair removal cream, what to do?

Depends: Depends on how deep the burn is. You should probably be seen today by your regular MD, or an ER doc. If the burn is deep enough, scarring could ensue.

Chemical burn: Wash the area to make sure there is no residual hair removal cream on your skin and apply a thin layer Bacitracin ointment 2 X per day. Also apply vitamin E once a day. Avoid using this product in the future altogether. Take care.
