Post wax burn: It should heal without scarring and scab if superficial. Discuss use of silicone creams with doctor/dermatologist/ urgent care

Vitamin E: you can apply Vitamin E to the affected area twice daily and take Ibuprofen for pain and inflammation.

Moisturize: Whether you scab or not will depend on how many layers of skin were burnt. At the very least, you can expect some flaky skin in the area. Your best choice of action right now is to keep the area hydrated. Drink water and apply lotion. Look for a lotion that doesn't contain any dies or scents that may further irritate the area.
