Suggest Remedy For Facial Scab
i have applied acne medicine on my nose to shrink my pores and draw out my blackheads, it seems as if the medicine has burnt the top of my nose leaving it red and irritated almost looking like a scab what can i put on it to shrink the redness, prevent a scab from forming?

Hi.
As per your case-history you are having iiritation due to either retinoids or benzoyl peroxide application for acne.
My treatment advice is-
1. Stop that anti-acne cream.
2. Donot squeeze/press the scab formed..it will fall off on its own.
3. Use antibiotic cream like fusidic acid cream twice daily on site
4. Avoid sun-exposure and any soap-cosmetics on affected area.
U will be fine in few days.
Thanks.
