Is there a way to get rid of facial scabs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep ointment on: The most important thing about healing scabs on the face (as well as any other place on the body) is to keep the scab moist with ointment (vaseline petrolatum), don't pick and allow it to fall off naturally. For thick, adherent scabs, sometimes peroxide can be used to soften the scab and allow it to dislodge. See your doctor to see what the best approach would be for you.
