Accidentally picked pimple... HELP!?
Last night, I steamed my face for ~6.5 minutes and slathered an egg yolk and honey mask on my face for ~40 mins. However, when I tried washing it off (first with the warm water.. of course, I ended with a splash of cold), I guess I accidentally picked this huge pimple on my forehead, 'cause when I looked up, the white stuff/pus was gone! The pus had just emerged that day, btw. Anyway, I continued washing, & I guess I must've accidentally picked it again (stupid, right?) but now, it was bleeding!! It stopped after a bit, then I squeezed it to get the oil out. Now, it's a big red mark, and I don't have anything like Tea Tree Oil, Blemish Sticks, Toners, Cleansers, or ANYTHING (except like Neosporin and Vitamin E Tablets) to help fix it! I'm going to a social event next Saturday.. what do you think it'll look like by then? I especially do NOT want any scars - I have a VERY smooth and clear face, this pimple is like the 2nd I've had in my life, so that's why I'm panicking. >_> So yeah... Advice on how to make it heal/how long do you think it'll take? HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! lol.
Accidentally picked a pimple scab off... now it's a small hole where it was?
Just about 10 minutes ago, I accidentally picked a pimple scab off, now there is a very tiny hole where it was. Even though it's not that noticeable, I'm just asking, do you think it will heal? I'm just curious because I've never really liked having scars in my face.
HELP!! i accidentally picked a scabbed pimple!!?
You did everything right. I would just clean it with peroxide to make sure it doesn't get infected, but really, you should be okay. It should be scabbed over in a couple hours, I think. The actual scab might not go away for maximum a week, but after that it should be gone and your face will be as good as new! If you have pinkish skin in the area when the scab comes off, keep putting the cream on it and it will go away. I don't think it will scar. I don't know how to make the scab 'strong', but if you don't pick it, all will be well xD Just remember that no matter how ugly it looks while it's healing, if you touch it, it will only get worse. So put on some cover up when you go out and forget about it. It will heal, don't worry!
I accidentally pulled off a mole on my face, will it grow back?
First of all, most people will think that I don't want it there, but I do. I think that mole made me look beautiful and I'm hoping that it will grow back. A few months ago I got a pimple where the mole was, popped it and after a few days it went away. Well a few days ago I got another pimple where the mole is and popped it, but kept messing with it. It ended up scabbing over and I deciding to leave it alone for a day or two and then pick off the scab and put some neosporin on it to heal it properly...but I picked off the scab and my mole came off with it! :( My mom says I'm overreacting but I've always had that mole and I really like it. It's high on my cheek bone, near my left eye. What do you think?
I accidentally picked off a scab on my face...?
TWO TIMES!! I'm really scared and I hope my skin doesn't turn out badly. I mean, I can't help it... I even placed a band-aid on my face but I still picked it off :| I'm too young to have really really fugly skin! You understand that, don't you? Anyway, I'd like advice on how to reduce the probability of scarring, how to quicken the healing process and how to prevent this in the future. Please. Thank you!! ^_____^
What happens if I pick the scabs off a tattoo for a while?
I accidentally picked the scabs off my new tattoo, and the ink on the areas where the scabs were picked faded off quite significantly.I had then recently gotten a new tattoo on my calf, and cleverly decided to wear skinny jeans the next day, thinking that having a piece of tegaderm would be sufficient to protect it against the rubbing. Couple hours in, I felt the wetness underneath the tegaderm, and decided to check it out, only to realise that it was full of a mixture of blood and ink (didn’t help that the ink was blood red as well). Ran off to buy a pair of shorts to quickly change into, and washed the tattoo.The affected area took longer than usual to heal, with the blood clot/scab being present for a couple weeks longer than the rest of the tattoo. When the scab finally fell off on its own, the ink in that area was significantly lighter than the rest of the tattoo. Fortunately the tattoo was meant to be a brush stroke, so the lighter areas did help make it look nicer in a way.So never pick the scabs off your tattoo. Let them drop off naturally.
I accidentally picked off a scab, now it's a scar?
Basically this morning, I was tired as hell. I went into the bathroom to get ready to shower and as always I do my morning routine check to see if I have got any new pimples or not. That's when it happened. I touched my face and accidentally hit a scab that I didn't even know was there. Now I am stuck with a scar. This has happened to me before just about 1 month ago, but the scar has already healed, but I'm not so sure about this one cause it seems deeper than the other one. I put some locoid cream on it and I am hoping for the best. What is your guys opinion on this? Will it heal as the other one? Will it not? Do you know any good cremes that I could use? Thanks.
I scraped my cheek accidentally, and my skin got red and raw. No blood, but a scab formed and fell off in 3 days. Is it already healed? I'm worried about scarring, or it was a minor wound? It looks red still.
I’m not a doctor but you have a 50–50. Depends. Scars form when the wound is deep. If it’s a light scratch then nothing will probably happen. Since there was no blood, chances are it will heal. Just don’t pick off the new scab.Here this is a description from a website-Scars form when the dermis (deep, thick layer of skin) is damaged. The body forms new collagen fibers (a naturally occurring protein in the body) to mend the damage, resulting in a scarScars and Your Skin
