Any tips on getting a scab off fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The more you dry it : You want to dry the scab more so it will fall off but you also want to prevent infection. I tell my patients to soak with white vinegar (2 teaspoons in a cup of water) and soak the scab 4-6 times a day, then at night apply antibiotic ointment. This makes the scab fall off faster
