A member asked:
A beautician waxed my upper lip 2 days ago, and during the process ripped off two corners of skin. how can i get the scabs that formed to fall off?

WAXING AND SCABS: WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT PICK OR SQUEEZE ANY PART OF THE SCAB! WARM WATER COMPRESSES FOR TEN TO FIFTEEN MINUTES EVERY 3 to 4 HOURS, SHOULD BE DONE. AN ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT AT BEDTIME AFTER THE COMPRESSES. GOOD LUCK.
