My dog's raw face is scabbing. How to help it heal and regrow hair?

Question

So my dog rubbed his face so hard on the cage that it made it raw, now that it's in the process of healing he is now scabbing, as the scab comes off so does the patch of hair which is on it, What can I put on it to help it heal faster as well as having the hair grow back? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | unneutered | 12 lbs

It sounds like Max's face is already healing if there is a scab, so I don't recommend putting anything on it. It's likely that he will try to lick any cream off with his tongue, and many OTC creams contain ingredients that are not safe for a dog to ingest. The best thing to do to help it heal quickly is not touch it or remove the scab. It can take a while for his fur to grow back, but there's nothing you can do to make it grow faster. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
