How do I heal my facial cut?

My thong scraped/cut my skin! How to make my thong-injury heal faster?

• K, so I mistakenly bought this cheap thong that occasionally made the top of my..."crack"...feel kinda sore. Today after i got home, i was undressing and noticed a dark and scaly Y-shaped mark where my thong must have been pulling and scraping my skin. It sucks. There's also an area that's cut open, but there is no blood-flow. I think it was so cold outside ( 31degrees in NY) that my skin was numb to anything going on in my pants. Question1: How long will it take for this scab/cut to heal? I put tea tree oil as soon as i noticed it. Few minutes later, I also put Vaseline. Question2: Is there any way to make this heal faster? It's not that painful, just kinda sore-feeling. But it has a brownish tinge, a color which looks so wrong in that area. Please let me know if there's any way to make it heal faster!

• Answer:

  Shower, pat dry and apply diaper rash ointment. That works great.
