There are things to try to take your mind off of the picking like the elastic band on the wrist, or to talk to yourself internally about how you don't want to pick anymore and you want to stop and you're not going to do this now because you want your face to heal and not get infected.

Use Vitamin E oil (I use Jamieson) on your wounds, I notice improvement after a day (well not like omg my skin is perfect now more like it aids the healing process, and the sticky oil feels so amazing on my skin).

The trick is to wash with mild soap and water 3 times a day, cake on neosporin or vaseline and a bandaid and change the ointment and bandaid 3 times a day. Do not let the wound or cut hit the air for too long. By doing this, the moist environment promotes skin growth and the skin fuses back together 100 percent.

Apply any kind of moist, concealment ointment-neosporin or aquaphor. Keeping the area moist is VERY important. Scabs clog up the area, delaying healing. When the skin is moist it makes it easier for new skin cells to move around and regenerate.

Hi all, I don't know if the people on here still need help with their skin but....for scar or wound healing or ANY skin irritations use miracell oil. It's a really small bottle like 14ml and depending on where you get it from, can be expensive sometimes, I paid $30.00.
