HELP – Large Abrasion Scar on Forehead and Upper Bridge of Nose. Any and all advice will be gratefully appreciated! (photo)

July 22, 2015
Asked By:RendyLynn in Costa Mesa, CA

It was rather deep (it bleed and it was all raw). I cleaned it out with Hydrogen Peroxide and used Neosporin on it for a few days with a band aide. Was the wrong thing to do? Drawing from prior abrasions on my body from being an athlete, I have a high tendency to hold hyperpigmentation from the injury. It’s been almost 3 weeks, and the area is significantly redder in coloration than the rest of my forehead. I’m trying to avoid hyperpigmentation of the area & permanent noticeable discoloration!
