Suggest Remedy For Wounds Due To Falling Down

I have fallen onto a pavement landed on my face as i had a dog lead in each hand The worst damage is to my nose,chin and a little to my forehead. The gravel has all been cleaned out my chin still weeps a bit. I wore a dressing with savlon for the first two days, i am still using savlon but no dressing. What should i do to limit scarring. I am a 53 year old woman.

As you had done regular dressing for scrathes and this should be the first priority to get it infection free and leave it for proper healing.
Scar marks will disapper as new skin comes out at the place of old one.
You need not to worry about that.
