A member asked:
I popped a zit on my lip and it became a yellow, crusty scab. since it is constantly moist or dirtied (from my mouth) how can i get it to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dab H2O2 frequently : In spite of the saliva and the tongue touching the pimple most heal quite nicely. Wash with plain water frequently and keep it as clean and dry as possible. Another way is to dab it with undiluted 3% hydrogen peroxide available OTC in any pharmacy, as frequently as possible and it shd heal as well too.
