Hello,
As per my clinical experience, scabs can leave scar and hence it is recommended to take proper precautions for better results. Guidelines as below:
- Keep the area clean with antiseptic liquid or soap
- Local application of aloe vera gel
- Polymycin cream heals excellent way
- Avoid exposure to sunny rays
- Control of blood sugar
- Supportive multi-vitamins and minerals with anti-oxidants
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
