    Should I pick the scab before the wedding ?

    Owing to a unfortunate accident on Sunday night whilst dancing at Chill my dance partners arm (whos name shall remain anonymous) seem to hit my arm which then hit my nose with some force ( I can only assume my watch hit my nose). I thought id broken it, ie the nose, the watch is fine

    This has left a mark (scab on my nose)

    Usually I wouldn’t give a dam as it will no doubt ‘heal’

    However its my sisters wedding this weekend (sorry Franco) and the first thing she said to me last night was ‘what happen to your nose’


    Therefore should I

    Pick it (that would leave a scar ?)
    Put a plaster on the nose (so I stand out in photos ?)
    A bag on the head to blend
    Not turn up at all and go to Camber and dance in the dark ?
    Stand next to uncle Ermin whos puss oozes from his skin and ill look good
    Buy some form of foundation ?

    Put some make up on it. But if I were you, i would go see one of the dolly's at boots and get them to chose the right shade for you and how to apply it or you could make it look worse.

    Failing that...the Uncle Ermin option looks like a winner

    Don't pick it !!

    Any decent wedding photographer should be able to remove it from any subsequent photographs.. Most Photographers I know shoot digitally these days and it's a minutes work with a clone brush / blend tool.

    If it bothers you so much then I guess this site may be applicable as well.

    After a couple of hot showers the scab will soften and come off a little anyway, so minimal covering up would be necessary.

    Sad? Sounds very dangerous to me. I can imagine all kinds of options being added now.

    Make up sounds the best option but be careful! Another option is to come up with a brilliantly impressive story as to how you got the injury

    Foundation - but also get yourself some lavender essential oil and dab it on. It speeds up healing (though it's probably too short notice for tomorrow!) and will reduce scarring. Now if you'd asked at the beginning of the week, you could probably have been scab free...

    Pick it! You know you want to. I bet you can feel it itching to come off right now can't you?

    Once you've picked it off (and you know you will), don't forget to tell us if it was a "keeper" or an "eater".

    OK thanks Gav - feeling quite sick now

    Was going to be helpful and say that green concealer is better at neutralising redness rather than skin coloured concealer.

    So what did you do? Did the scab get it or was there some artful blending going on?

    This thread is somewhat disgusting, yet strangely it draws you in! Just like the need to pick a scab. How very odd
