Hello, Five weeks ago I picked at a pimple on my neck . I rubbed the area raw. The skin has healed since then but I have been left with a very reddened patch where I rubbed the skin. I know this was very silly of me but is there anything I can do to reduce the redness and help the scarring fade? I am frightened I will have this mark for the rest if my life.
