Hello all,
I've had the misfortune of cutting myself decently on the chin and leaving two identical, parallel marks. Normally this would be amusing, but after 3+ weeks of healing, I still see very visible red marks (scars?).
My method of treatment was to rub a styptic pencil over them until they stopped bleeding. After finishing my shave, I rinsed with cold water, applied my aftershave splash, and dabbed the cuts with more styptic as needed to stop bleeding (without leaving a noticeable white film).
Is it normal for respectable cuts to leave marks that long? Are there any other methods for treating cuts in a routine that battle scarring?
P.S. - I know scars are cool and I dig that, but I'm very pale and having twin marks on either side of my dimpled chin look....interesting. :rofl2:
