I put Savlon on mine for 3 or 4 days then used Sudo Creme it kept skin soft, less temptation to pick Susie x

I've tried a couple of different creams and lotions, and by far the best was Witch Hazel Gel. And DON'T pick!!

I just left mine, showered as norm, and waited for the scab to come off, no probs, didn't use anything after. Kim

I think I get the gist - just tell him not to PICK - am I right - YES.
