Ok, so I am very lucky to have pretty good skin...but I am my own worst enemy and just did something stupid.

I've felt something under my skin for the last week and on Sunday I went to pop it and nothing came out. Maybe it was a clogged pore but there was nothing in there. So a scab formed. On Monday I accidentally picked the scab off and it looks really red...a big red mark is now there.

I called my dermatologist and he said not to let another scab form and to keep it moist. I've been applying Neosporin on it 4-5 times a day and it just looks really red. I wish another scab formed so it could start healing but he said to keep it moist. I really hope I didn't scar myself by picking at it but right now theres a big red mark. (It's not open anymore...just red). And this isn't red marks from Acne...this is like I gave myself a wound red mark.

So do I keep applying Neosporin on it or do I start with Vitamin E? This just happened Monday (all from me) so I'm wondering if I can prevent scarring/red marks and how?

I keep it covered with a band aid at work and open when I'm at home...but Neosporin all the time.

What do you recommend so I avoid red marks?
