Hey have got quiet a few scabs were i had electrolsys done. What do you reccommend i do too speed up the process of the scabs falling off.
Where are the scabs. Can you submit a picture? What aftercare instructions were you given? By all means, never pick a scab. Small pinpoint scabs are okay.
Fairly recently, Michael Bono has written a contribution how to best deal with scabs in order to improve healing. Maybe You have a closer look at the older material here?
Hey i have been told too use aloe vera gel and vaseline.I think the vaseline is helping quiet alot.Plus i trust me electrologist alot.
This is near my eye are a very sensetive part of the face iv been told and common sense lol

Scabs are too big … continue on with the vaseline and keep the scabs soft. Wash frequently (gently) to soften the scabs more. You may even apply a warm wet compress for several minutes (10 - 15). You want the scab off, but not create bleeding. Once the scabs are off, continue to keep the skin moist. Simple Vaseline is fine.
is that a bad thing the scabs being too big ?
Why do we actively want the scab off as opposed to letting them fall off in time? Isn’t it part of the body’s natural healing process?
I know this issue is “excruciatingly” explained somewhere here on Hairtell (also fully illustrated in my book).
Keeping scabs soft and encouraging sloughing is standard burn therapy. Technically this is an “eschar” (scab). The scab forms a V-shaped matrix for the epidermis to form around, and can therefore result in a tiny pit (though usually temporary), and delays the ability of the epidermis to utilize oxygen directly from the air.
Heavy, deep eschars (as you present) can result in permanent thinner epidermis (in the wound area) once the wound has healed. Keeping the scab soft and hydrated allows the epidermis to more easily burrow under the scab, produce a thicker epidermis and allows the epidermis to “breathe.”
YES the oxygen DOES “pass thought” the Vaseline … “oil” is not a barrier at all. The oil “barrier” (Vaseline) allows moisture from the skin itself to soften the eschar, i.e., it will not evaporate.
Dee Dee: slap me silly!
Okay, but your ears might get in the way! 
Mike (or anybody),
Can you give me a clue where your most excellent posts are about scabs and healing. I will make it a sticky so it can easily be found next time.
Yes, those scabs are too big. Also there is a product by Eucerin called Aquaphor, which contains petroleum that will restore and smooth those areas.
how can i prevent myself from getting big scabs next time. Now i am worried this will be something i will always get and it will damage my skin 
Dee,
Was this the thread?
Yes, it was the thread i had in mind when i mentioned it.
What You can do about the scabbing: talk to You electrologist what she would change in the setting or her treatment.
The scab should not be larger than the head of a pin on the face.
I read a lot on this forum using aloe vera and petroleum jelly.
Aloe vera can soothe and help heal but the Vaseline does not work and I think what it does is clog and prevent the skin breathe
The best thing
1º) CLEAN twice a day with a soap of clorhexidin
2º) DESINFECTION : with antibiotic cream (the first day, over all in the face) , clorhexidina, iodine….
3º) ALOE VERA.

Lola, it is great to see you here xx
I love the protocol you outline, having been on the receiving end.
A thousand thank you’s , Brenton! I have made it a sticky. It is located at the top area of the electrolysis forum. If this question is asked in the future, anyone can copy and paste the thread in their answer so none of us have to be slapped silly.
i dont mean too sound repetetive and annoying but how can i prevent such large scabs from happening and why does it happen in the first place.Knowing this will allow me too inform my electrologist and compare the knowledge from this forum too hers.
Additionally, the “oily” product should not be applied immediately after treatment. You want to cool the area, use water (soap if you want) because the first important thing is to avoid infection. Nicely, the tea tree will help in both cases and aloe is great for the first few days or so.
When the skin is calm, you can then use your other substances to soften the crust (if one formed at all). The best I have found, so far, is Emu oil. It’s not very nice smelling and it’s expensive (an animal product) but works nicely. The products Dee recommended are also fine.
I know that nobody likes Vaseline (too common?) … it got a bad “rap” because people would use it immediately on burn victims and that was VERY bad! The typical wounding in electrolysis is much different.
Avoiding scabs in the first place is ALL about electrolysis technique. I wish I could give you one answer. The area you are having treated is difficult: deep hairs in very thin skin, and prone to crusting. A lot depends on the modality being used, and needle choice. I’m sure there will be a lot of suggestions forthcoming.
The only way I could offer valid recommendations would be to watch your electrologist actually doing the work …
