Wax burns generally heal within 5 to 14 days, depending on their severity. For minor burns, cool the area with running water for at least 10 minutes and apply an antiseptic ointment. Consult a healthcare professional for larger or persistent burns. Avoid popping blisters and ensure the affected area remains clean and moisturized to prevent infections and speed up recovery.
