Wait till its done pealing and dry before you shave it. Touch up, wait till its fully healed... |
is there any real reason why its just mainly the purple spots on the flowers that are still scabbed?? |

Theres probably one of a 100 reasons. Just let it heal.. It's gonna be there for the rest of your life/ Give it a couple days to heal... |

| Usually when I have big work done, like 98% heals great and fast and there are usually two or three little spots that take longer. |

Exactly... By the way it should only be 2-3 weeks so a little hair isn't going to kill ya.

Some take longer then others but another week SHOULD be all you need. If not, just wait until you have NO more ruff patches.
