Suggest Remedy For Broken Red Rashes Causing Skin Damage After Popping
Hello, I recently broke out. I popped it and also damaged/scratched the skin around it. Its very red and dark. So now I m not sure if I should put acne cream on it, or treat it as a wound or a scab and put Neosporin or something like that on it to heal. How can i heal it?

Hello,
If the skin is damaged I suggest to treat it as a wound.
I recommend cleaning the face with an antibacterial soap.
I suggest using Neosporin cream for local application.
I also suggest avoiding further damage to the skin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
