I need some advice on healing acne scabs. My doctor said they would heal on their own, but the problem is they accidentally fall off at night and bleed. This has been happening for a few days now, and I’m worried it’s going to leave scars.
Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do to help them heal properly and prevent them from falling off prematurely?
Avoid picking at acne scabs to prevent scarring and infections. Keep the area clean by washing with a mild cleanser twice daily. Use a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep it hydrated. Protect prone scabs with a bandage and avoid harsh skincare products or makeup. Allow the scab to heal naturally without picking.
To help healing and prevent scabs from falling off, keep the area moisturized with a gentle ointment. Avoid picking or scratching. Consider using a non-comedogenic healing balm and consult your doctor if it continues to be an issue.
