Picking or infection: Any lesion on the face that does not clear in one month should be evaluated by a dermatologist. Most commonly we worry about staph infections including impetigo, but also trauma and picking can lead to non-healing wounds. Cultures can be performed to determine if some infection is present including staph. But other clinical symptoms could lead to other possibilities
