Wow look at that scab on your face! What are you going to do about it? You made the mistakes to get the scab to this point, now its time to learn how to heal the frustrating nasty scab.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Vaseline
  • Towel
  • Warm water
  1. Step 1

    The scab is fresh because of the way you picked at it for the past thirty minutes. If you picked at it, the first thing you need to do is get a nice cleanse in. Be sure to use a non irritating face wash to get all the nasty dirt and bacteria out of it.

  2. Step 2

    Take a fresh clean towel and rinse some luke warm water over it. Make sure the water is not too hot, it has to be a heat that your comfortable with, without stinging your face. Rinse some water on the towel and apply the towel to your scab. This will increase the blood flow in the scab and hopefully get rid of any dead skin from it.

  3. Step 3

    Finally, the most important part, the Vaseline. Take a nice finger tip sized vaseline (100% petroleum jelly) and apply it directly to the scab. Rub it in gently into the scab. Repeat the steps twice a day and apply vaseline 2 to 3 times a day. Good luck with the scabs or any other blemish that needs help healing.
