Scales are the protective sheaths on the wound surface, made up of dry blood, plasma and immune cells. Since it has a protective function, you should not use force to pry the scales. Scabbing will irritate, slow down the wound healing process and lead to the risk of infection. Getting rid of acne scabs is also difficult, trying to pry them off early will increase the risk of scarring. The bottom line is that you need to keep the scabs soft, moist and supple, while also stimulating the process underneath the young skin. If you have acne scars, there are different methods you can take to help the wound heal faster, but note that acne needs to go through a healing process before it disappears.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Wash to remove scabs

1. 

   
   
   Wash the scales every day. You should wash the scaly areas twice a day, using a acne cleanser or a gentle cleanser. After washing, wipe gently to dry.
   • You need to use a clean towel every time you wash the scales. Towel used again and again will spread bacteria and slow the healing of scars.

2. 

   
   
   Wash with oil. After washing with soap, you can add an oil to help moisturize and remove the scaly layer. You can choose from a number of oils like beaver oil, coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil and others. Using a clean washcloth, gently apply the oil to the scabs. You try to be light and only apply a little pressure. Wash thoroughly then moisturize again.
   • Oil washing will remove some small flakes. However, you should only remove small pieces that can easily come off. Don't try to pry them off.
   • The scab will fall off in five to seven days. Some may flake sooner or later, don't try to force them to peel off early.

3. 

   
   
   Use a hot compress. Soak a cloth in warm water and roll it up, applying it to the scab twice a day, for 10 to 15 minutes each time. The hot and humid steam softens the flakes, thus helping them to flake off safely, naturally, and also helping to heal the wound.
   • Do not rub when applying. You should only use a compress and keep the towel on the scabs.

4. 

   Bathing with Epsom salt. Soaking in a bath with Epsom salt helps to moisten the scabs on the body and stimulate wound recovery. You mix warm water and Epsom salt in a bath, soak the scaly area for about an hour.
   • Repeat every day until the crust is gone.
   • Be careful not to put Epsom salt on your face.
