Dry crusty skin instead of a huge zit. Lesser of 2 evils?

So I was able to dry out this terrible huge zit I had under my lip gross but now the skin is so red and flaky that it looks worse than before. I did my best to put product on the spot only and I'm exfoliating and trying to hydrate it but don"t wanna clog it back up either. Any suggestions?

I would give the skin some rest! it sounds like it might be irritated! wash it with water before you go to bed and put on a nice heavy moisturiser to hydrate the skin.

Put some neosporin it will heal quicker or aquaphor.

Thanks ladies! I've been putting Neosporin on it the past few nights so I'm happy to hear that's actually helping:)

Coconut oil had always helped me. Some people say it breaks them out but I put it in the areas that are dry & the next day my skin is back to normal.

Thanks Lauren! I keep eyeing the jar since I use it to moisturize everything else lol but was a little worried as I have heard the same thing about it breaking people out. I'm going to give that a shot during the day and the Neosporin at night. Thanks again Sabrina Traci and Lauren!
