Ouch -
Wintergreen alcohol - more ouch - then neosporin and a small dot bandaid.
The alcohol will dry it and the neosporin will seal it all better.
The wintergreen alcohol will hurt like the dickens for a few seconds, then you won't believe how good it will feel after the pain stops - seriously. Just a tiny dot of neosporin will do the trick. It will be almost completely healed in 24 hrs.
You won't get a bad scar. And the tiny dot bandaid will prevent you from accidentally tearing it off again.
Good luck :)

I did the same thing. I actually have a habit of doing it alot. I recently discovered aloe vera gel. GET SOME. It eases the pan from the scab and it helps promote skin cell growth. Im not sure if it will fix ur problem in 3 days but I definently noticed a difference over night compared to the other stuff i I was using. If you go to the dermatologist they may give you B5 gel. It to promotes skin cell growth in scab of peel skin areas(its just more expensive.)

Put a little bit of tissue, on the spot, lick it with your tongue first, and it should stay put, wait until its dried on and falls off as it will, and you will find that you will be back to square one, without the thick scab that you knocked off, trust me.
You can buy something from Boots which is good for facial spots and possible scaring,but its quite expensive. try calomine lotion, then make up over it. Sorry, just realised you are male, but you could pinch a bit of foundation from Mum or your wife??? (just trying to be helpful!) As she exits stage left, hoping you are not a trani or anyfing! lol
Happy New year to you & Good luck in three days time!

If the bleeding hasn't stopped, tear off a little piece of facial tissue and stick it to the sore to make it quit bleeding. Putting the skin back down probably won't help; it's very likely that scab will fall off.
Zits don't scar as often as people think, and they certainly aren't worth a whole lot of worry. Wash your face carefully with lots of soap, let it air dry, and stop worrying.

Not much you can do. Take that scab off though, no need to just have it hanging off your face. Put some neusporin(sp?) on it and just use anti-zit cover up on day of "event". Don't sweat it so much, everybody gets acne sometimes. You are more than your complexion!!!

first of all, calm down. The only thing you can do right now is leave it, there's not much you can do. PUtting creams and lotions is not gonna help and some may sting, irritating it even more. IF you really want, just put some moisturizing lotion on it. THis may help fade it and blend in to your skin. And on your important day, remember to put concealer on to cover it up!

not to worry, the scab will reform and heal as long as you did not infect the wound under it. Put a drop of after shave on it. The alcohol will disinfect the area around it. As to it completely healing in just three days...who knows ???

Go to the Store
and get some
of:
PALMER'S
Cocoa Butter Formula
and go home,
wash your face VERY good
and put a Pea size of
Cocoa butter on it
before you go to bed
and smear it in a little
and it should help
heal it nicely.
I can't really tell
you if your going
to have a scar or not
but It helped me
when I did what
you did.
It's supposed
to heal marks
and scars.
It REALLY
works for me!
Hope I helped - M i M i
KEEP ON REPEATING PUTTING COCOA BUTTER ON
IT EVERY DAY!!!!AND IT WILL GO AWAY!!!

Put some polysporin on it, put it on the ripped scab and rub it in until you can't see the polysporin anymore, it will help you minimize the appearence of the scar and put some green stick on it to minimize the rednes and put coverup over it, so you can hide it :)

Don't worry, just slab some neosporin on and a band-aid, give it a few weeks and it will heal.
if there is a scar you can get this special medicine that will slowly take it away!
