Scabby carpet burn on face, what should i put on it?

[BeyondTheLimits]

As you can see from the first pic, it has scabbed nicely since yesterday. What (that im likely to already have) shall i put on it? I tried aftersun earlier, but didnt seem to moisturise it as much as i had hoped...

ouch. How the devil did you manage that?

savlon or something?

I think i have savlon, will have a look now

Nothing fun (which has been everyones first guess!) i was ill sunday night in bed, sat up and fainted from sitting. Face hit the floor first and then must have slid along it i guess. It is rather sore, though i'm looking forward to it peeling off

Can't see the pic (on app), but vaseline all the way. Keep it moist, it will minimise any scarring.

Well the first thing that came to mind about you having carpet burn on your face was rude

It looks like it's healing well. It has a scab. Doesn't appear infected (does it?).
I'd just leave it.
I guess you could put some sudocream on it if you really wanted to but it won't do much.

Sudocrem might work. It's known as 'Magic Cream' in this house.

Ooh ouch Beyond. I wondered if Sudocrem may help.

DS1 had one on his forehead (he was about 5) from crawling round the living room with his head on the floor. The day before the school photos. Looked great as you can imagine.

Ow savlon is stinging. Thats a good sign, yes?

I have vaseline in the car, would have to go and get it. No sudocrem (i dont think?) but have bepanthan around somewhere.

:)

Burn Cream or Medihoney Derma Cream or Gel.

Vaseline with wounds, esp burns is not good. It only smothers the skin leaving it open to infection.

don't put too much on it though. The best thing for that is that the air gets to it and it heals.

And yes. My first thought was not that you fainted.

sorry to hear that, though. You're feeling better now I hope?

Yeah im okay, i just have a dopey body sometimes, it likes to randomly lose consciousness :)

Aquaphor from boots - fantastic stuff, heals and prevents scarring.

Yikes. I'd be inclined to just leave it alone actually. Keep it clean and don't pick the scab.

I did a good one recently- hit myself on the chin in my sleep - with a very sharp thumbnail. Took a big chunk out - looked lovely that did for a couple of weeks.
