Hey Soembarrassed! By the way you described the uneven skin around the edges of your sore, it sounds alot like what I have. Do you ever have what looks like raised skin that surrounds a healing sore. It scabs up when I put calamine on it, which I think is good because I hope that it scabs up and heals. My sore wouldn't be as noticeable If it weren't for the uneven edges of my sore. Have you ever had this?

I have mixed feelings about calamine lotion sometimes it helps and other times it seems to be to drying. I feel for you as i had a spot for 2 1/2 months exactely like you described as i would not leave it alone. Hang in there it will heal

Hi, how are you? I think Biotin is an essential nutrient that helps skin stay healthy, and may help skin heal faster. Insufficient amounts of biotin can cause a number of skin conditions. This would be benefial for you and to your friends. Visit this site feel free to read it. http://www.herculesvitamins.com/product_template.php?page=biotin I hope your condition will be better. TC

I'm actually going through the same thing. I have a habit of picking at my skin when I get a pimple or blackhead. I picked at one that went totally wrong! I have a huge wound in the middle of my forehead. It's embarrassing! I will tell you what's helping me. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Try to go as natural as possible. I have sensitive skin so I can't use a lot of products on my face. I just started this new regime and its helping!! After you wash your face, dap hydrogen peroxide on your wound or pimple and let it sit for a few mins. Then splash your fave with cold water to wash the peroxide off. Dry your face completely and dap the calamine lotion on and let it sit overnight. That lotion is working miracles for me. My scar is fading drastically! Follow this regime and you won't regret it.

One treatment that I have used that can help with the sores and the scarring is Epizyn. You can get in spray or gel. I personally like the gel and the way it feels. This really helped me heal once i was sick of the sores....I hope this helps
