Did you pick? Nasty cuts you wanna heal quick? I can help
Okay, so I'm 20 years old and I've been picking since I was about 12. I feel like there's nothing I can do about picking, so I decided to really research to help the aftermath. Once I'm done picking my face is covered with cuts and bleeding, open wounds I created that are now needing to heal and at risk for infection. I've been to doctors got medicine I've used neosporin, air drying, bandaids, etc. I really researched and I found that a wound heals by literally pulling the skin together till its closed again. That's why a cut becomes smaller and smaller. A scab isn't really good that's what leads to nasty scarring and longer healing time. If you want to heal your wounds quicker I found to use honey. I swear. Plain old honey, it doesn't look nice but neither do the wounds. So put it on! What I do after I've picked and need the wounds to heal and don't want scarring, is I cleaned the cuts usually I just wash my face with plain water sometimes mild soap, then I spray saline solution (salt water) to make sure the cuts are really cleaned out. Then pay dry with CLEAN towel, squeeze some honey onto a qtip and put it directly on the cut/wound. Keep the honey on, it may drip just wipe it up. At night use those little round bandaids over the honey so it's not a mess on your pillow. Honey is a natural antibacterial, so it naturally and gently keeps bacteria and infection from coming. It also keeps the cut moist and creates the perfect healing environment. My cuts heal 50% faster when I use honey. They don't get infected, and the rarely scar. Once your face is healed up which with honey will take about 3 days, if you have any scars I suggest using loreal, serum dark spot corrector. I bought it at Walmart for like 20$, it works very well to help the damage scarred skin. I've been picking for years everything I just wrote I promise I believe it will help you a lot. It's become my routine now and works amazing for me.

Yeeesss
I have been using honey on my wounds for a long time now and as much as it stings I clean the wound with Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar first and that seems to help that apple cider vinegar is like a cure-all for everything I have been reading a lot that you're not supposed to use just regular honey you're supposed to get Manuka Honey which is really not that cheap but by the looks of this wound on my face today I may invest in the manuka honey but the honey on my face also keeps my fingers away from my face thank you for sharing
