Q: Not following the logic of this statement. The nodule I was referring to was the white stuff that appears after the healing process. It can be popped with a reasonable amount of pressure.
A: I had a white nodule in the acne area that has since disappeared. The acne has matured and ruptured, resulting in an open wound. This is the current condition I am experiencing.

Would my approach to treat wound correct?

Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for any suggestions

In order to avoid scaring, healing process must be slow down by using Coconut oil (moisturizing properties) instead of keeping the skin hydrated to heal within  a few days .
Because stimulating collagen production takes a month, moisturizing skin is to help prevent scars by allowing wounds to heal at a more gradual pace, thus reducing the likelihood of rapid healing that can lead to scaring.
That is what cosmetic Sales suggest that moisturizing skin is right approach,
Does it make sense?
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

It is generally true that moisturizing the skin will reduce the visibility of scars, but our body does a decent job at this on its own. Our skin is filled with glands that produce oil and sweat that keeps the skin moisturized nevertheless. Those products you buy at the store are for rarer cases where the person also suffers from dry skin, say due to eczema or other. Those products are not for everyone
