Keep clean: washing over the scab gently. Avoid removing the scab as this will probably result in bleeding and delay healing. In the future, avoid popping pimples. There is an antibiotic ointment called Metrogel which can help prevent the development of pimples by applying it twice a day as soon as you feel a pimple starting to develop. Consult a physician about Metrogel & other medical treatments for acne.
