How do you get rid of scabs?

How to get rid of scars caused by scabs?

  • So long story short, I have these two scars (two little circles, one bigger then the other) on my forehead. I got them about two weeks ago. The two circles first had scabs on them because of I injured my head. It was healing just fine for a little while, but one day I went to the gym and while I was walking out I brushed some sweat off my forehead and realized I had taken the scabs off (I know, stupid that I didn't wear band-aids) I have been using Neosporin on them ever since I got them (I still do). I am not entirely sure if they had scared over. I say this because I still can feel the exact to areas whenever it comes into contact with something (heat, cold, sweat or anything else). I am wondering 1. Have the scabs turned into scars? 2. If not, what should I do to make sure they heal properly so they don't turn into scars. 3. If they have turned into scars, how can I fade them away. Please someone help me. It is extremely embarrassing as the circles are light pinkish- red and I have tan skin so it pops out quite a lot. I have to go to a wedding in a few weeks. I would hate to go with these scabs/scars or whatever they are at this point.

  • Answer:

    There are several creams you can try. One cream I've along with MANY success stories is Mederma. It is known for fading scars and stretch marks. There are many othe expensive and non expensive creams out there that claim to do the same thing like Palmers Cocoa Butter. You'll only know for sure if it works for you if you try it! Vitamin E also helps fade scars and stretch mark. You could go to the local grocery store and buy Vitamin E capsules for very cheap. Them break the capsules and the oil (vitamin E) that comes out place it on the scars. Anything with Vitamin E in it will help reduce uneven skin tones. To make sure scabs do not to turn scars I have found that Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E helps my scratches, etc heal with no scars. (I'm prone to scars!) Hope I helped!!xx
