Help Healing Skin Abbrasions?

Last night I got some scratches on my upper back... they have scabbed over and I have been washing with soap and water and cleaned them with alcohol.

I will be in a wedding at the end of March. What can I do to make sure these scratches heal so they are not visable during the wedding.

    noepsporin and wool fat. neopsporin helps with the bacteria nad scaring, and the wool fat softens the skin, keeping them from reopening, thus speeding the healing time. good luck! enjoy the wedding!

    i would leave them! the skin will heal itself. just make sure you check every now and then for infection! dont keep rubbing with soap and alcohol it will reopen the wound
