Pimple turned into a scab
Last week I got a big pimple on my upper lip which after a few days turned into a painful dry scab. I applied Vaseline petroleum jelly on it which helped it heal rapidly but now I have a pinkish scar. Which cream should I use to get rid of the scarring?

Talk to experienced dermatologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Madam don't fret. Scar will get back to normal in few weeks time. No need to waste money on costly ointments. I suggest you share a picture with me. The minimum you need to do is apply Vaseline , coconut oil or calamine lotion and massage the area for 3 to 5 minutes atleast for 3 to 5 times a day (it's easier said than done!!) ... If at all there is any specific need i can advice some ointments to use during the massage. Other than that nothing else needs to be done
