Asked By:globby in Australia, AU

I was watching a show and I totally forgot that i shouldn't be touching my face as i'd literally just gotten 3 moles removed! Accidentally scratched most of the scab off.. only a part of it is left and now I'm wondering if it'll heal differently and what not :((( I was told not to use water on my face today.. and not to pick it off
