Scar after bursting a pimple?
by hello52, Sep 16, 2008 12:45PM
Hello there. I had a really big white colored pimple on my face and I couldn't help but burst it. Blood came out twice as soon as I burst it and now the pimple is gone. But during the healing process, I scratched that area several times and small pieces of skin/scab(whatever you call it) came off. Well, now the bump is smaller and less redder and there's a small hole in the middle. I think it's still healing. It's been 3-4 days since I burst it and scratched it a few times. My fear is that will this thing leave a scar on my face? How long will it take for the bump and slight redness to completely disappear? What can I do to speed things up? Please help!

Some people are more prone to acne scars than others. Acne scars should be treated early, with dermatological consultation, to reduce their visibility and size later in life.
There are several forms of treatment for acne scars in current usage including dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, laser therapy, chemical peels, topical application creams etc.
You could consult a dermatologist about this and decide about the further management.
Let us know if you need any further information.
