Keep clean/ointment: Washing your face with warm water and a gentle soap once daily and then applying a thin layer of antibiotic ointment such as polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin) or Bacitracin 1-2 times/day should allow for healing and minimize scarring. Hot water can dry skin and promote scabbing, which needs to be avoided.
