I used to be the queen of putting tons of neosporin on a scab that was the result of a picked zit and then cover it with a band aid. BIG NO NO. It takes longer to heal, because its always moist, so there's no chance for the new skin to form. Before bed, apply an oil free moisturizer. The moisture is just enough to help soften the skin and the air can still get to it so it can heal. I actually had like 4 scabs on my face yesterday and all I did was the moisturizer and today there is significant improvement. Also, as tempting as it is, DO NOT PICK OFF YOUR SCAB. You will be left with a huge pitted scar that will remind you of what you did for months.

Pure vitamin E oil applied to the scabs. In addition, take Vitamin A and Vitamin D supplements, but only one each per day for about a week, because too much of these two vitamins can be toxic. The vitamin E oil is perfectly safe, and it costs about five dollars at Walgreen's. I've used this regimen many times for acne, and it's always worked.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Don't pick it because then the healing & scab will have to start over.It will dry up and fall off soon.

there's no way. you just have to wait it out and let it fall off by itself. if you pick it, it'll turn into a scar. just try to put vitamin E on it every night until it falls off.
