How can i heal a raw patch of skin from picking a blemish?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do this: Clean it, put antibiotic cream on it, cover it with a clean dry soft dressing, and leave it alone. Keep it dry or change the dressing if it gets wet. Keep it covered until there's a good scab or it's healed. Try not to pick at it.
