I picked a pimple & i let it dry out & it had a scab & i picked it & now it is raw what can i do to help it clear up fast :(?

Antibiotic ointment: Given that it is raw you should keep it protected with antibiotic ointment. There is no "speed healing" of a raw skin spot unfortunately. Best of luck!
