I have this big scrape/cut on my face, how can i prevent it from leaving a scar, can you help me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First keep it: moisturized with aquaphor or vaniply til it heals. Then always keep it covered with sunscreen. Add growth factors like TNS or Neocutis biogel to help it heal and see dermatologist for laser at one month if you still see a mark
