Cool it: Wax burns can hurt. Use cool compresses and take something like Acetaminophen or even Aspirin if it does not conflict with any other medicines you take. Be careful about the dose you use. Follow instructions. This will get better. Keep the area clean with soap and water. If necessary use antibiotic ointment and a bandaid.
