Apply neosporin! Hopefully that will help heal it into a scab, and as for your vacation, just use a little cover up.

Hope this helps!

thanks. it did scab over and fall off, now it's just bright red. it'll probably turn dark brown after another 5 months i guess.

Hi.Apply some Extra Strength Zincofax to the spot. This is the same cream that mothers treat their babies bottoms with to help with diaper rash. I spot treat my post acneic red marks and it works like a charm. Being that its a thicker consistency however, I place a tea towel on my pillow case so that the bedsheets and pillow case doesnt stain from the white cream.
