how to heal open pimple wound fast - #26465
I am dealing with this really annoying open pimple wound on my cheek that just won’t heal! Last week, I picked at a pimple, ya know how you do sometimes, and now it looks all red and inflamed. I tried leaving it alone, but it keeps getting crusty and, ugh, I just want to know how to heal an open pimple wound fast! I’ve read online that I should put certain ointments on it, but honestly, I’m confused about what’s safe to use. Like, should I be using something antibiotic or just keep it clean and covered? Plus, I'm worried it’s gonna leave a scar or mess up my skin for good. Is it really worth putting stuff like tea tree oil on it, or does that not really help? I heard aloe vera is supposed to be good too, but I don’t know if it’s better than just not touching it. Can anyone share tips or their own experiences about how to heal an open pimple wound fast? I'm desperate here! Any advice would be really appreciated!
