It is not infected and I do not pick at it.


Answers:

1. Definitely don't pick at it.

2. If there is a scab, keep it covered, clean, and dry.

3. If it is just a red mark, but covered in skin, there are a few things you can use to minimize scarring. The plastic surgeons I have scrubbed with use a "scarlet red" dressing, which is actually gauze saturated with sterile olive oil! I know it sounds crazy, but it works.
