So one week ago my skin was nearly perfect- I had a few small bumps that would have gone away on their own, and I was finally feeling optimistic about my face. Then OF COURSE i had to ruin everything- i picked and picked at those tiny bumps until they became huge raw patches of skin, which then scabbed, and then i couldn't stop myself from picking at the scabs. My face now looks red and disgusting. I've been wearing my hair in a ridiculous side part the last few days in an effort to cover up as much of my face as possible! I look like a fool!

I've been doing aspirin masks and neosporin but nothing seems to be working....Can anyone suggest anything? I have a big date in three days and I really want to look good for it....Would icing help? Any feedback would make me feel less stupid and alone!

Thanks!
 
Well, I've been there myself and know how bad that feels. One thing I can suggest for the date night. Eyedrops. Put it on any red spots on your face, leave it for 10 seconRAB and then wipe off. It will take the red out temporarily. If the spots are really big and red, it won't go away completely, but will help some. For some of the smaller spots, it will have a nice enough reduction that you should be able to cover completely with concealer.

In the meantime, go to the store and buy a scar cream with silicone. I am not a fan of neosporin, but this type of special scar cream will help the big scabby spots heal faster. I have bought PreVentin-AT Advanced Scar Therapy Vanishing Night Gel and liked that one. I would put it on the scabs or raw skin every couple of hours until it closed up and started healing.

Good luck
