Hello, I am 16 year old boy. I waxed my face 2 days ago (with hot wax) and my skin on the right cheek turned red then I applied baby oil, after that I washed my face with cold water and applied ice pack. Then I applied zinc oxide cream on my cheek and today that part of my face is slightly darker than my normal skin, I put aloevera gel on my cheek and felt burning like sensation on my cheek, now I have applied silver sulfadiazine 1% cream. Could you please advise me something? What should I do to prevent discoloration on my face?

Avoid sunlight completely. Don't use any other chemical on face. Apply calamine lotion twice daily for five daya.
