You should just use neosporin and DON"T pick it anymore or it will turn into a scar. :)
hmmm....I sound like a mother now! 8-)

The scab is your bodies way of protecting the skin underneath while it heals. It will fall of when the injury has healed.
If you'd like a BIGGER SCAB, and to increase the possibility of SCARRING, go ahead and pick at the scab. Otherwise, LEAVE IT ALONE.

I have two very awesome products for zits and scabs. The first is wart remover! That's good for scabs, and then there's scar cream (mederma works well) that works well on zits and on the scars.

i have the same bad habit of picking off scabs from zits as well... haha.
first i dab on some hydrogen peroxide to make it heal faster and prevent an infection... and then i put on some benzoyl peroxide.
everytime i pick mine, it bleeds and look nasty. i should really stop. u should stop too. we shall stop picking scabs togetherrrrr!! hahaha
:]

i dont think there is really a way of getting the scab away, but you could cover it up with concealer. id let it heal and itd be gone in a day if you put some zit cream on it and let it dry up.!!

dont put anything on it!
leave it alone, it will heel, if u pick the scab it will bleed and become even more noticeable
well, it depends on what the scab looks lie
if it is white or the color of ur skin, just get it off
if it is red like dried blood, leave it alone

well first of all dont pick it and i've herd that colgate toothpaste works
Put a dab of colgate toothpaste on it before u go to bed and make sure u sort of rub it in then do this until it goes away and your skin will be twice as soft and u can also do this on unpicked zits it will help them go away faster and it will be kind of fun putting tothpaste on your face and it will smell sort of minty also lol.

well mybe you should put some vasolene on the scab or zit. because if you leave it like that it could get very worser than it used to look. or ask your doctor if there any type of stuff to put on it.

if your hell bent on picking it, then do it after to get out of the shower. it should come off easier and do less damage. then put on a concealer that contains salicylic acid. it covers it and heals it at the same time

if you put colgate toothpaste (make sure its paste not the gel kind) on a zit it dries it out, which can make it go away much faster.....i heard of colgate, and it works for me, but im sure any brand should do =]

Its not really a "scab"...its called a scar I think, but at Wal-mart....theres this acne scar product from netrugena and it works really good from what I heard (my cousin uses it) and it costs $12.00 but works good for acne scars.
