Is it better to keep a scrape moist or dry?

Is it better to cover a scrape with a band-aid and keep it moist, or let it dry and form a scab?

  • Answer:

    Leaving a wound uncovered helps it stay dry and helps it heal. If the wound isn't in an area that will get dirty or be rubbed by clothing, you don't have to cover it.
