What Should I Do About a Scab?

My scab fell off but it doesn't look right. What's supposed to happen to a scab?

  • I had a scab on my face but I left it alone. It had been on there for about 5 days. It got very dry, the edges were disappearing and it looked like it was coming along and healing. I wasn't thinking one day though, and accidentally scratched it off. It just fell off, it wasn't difficult when I scratched it, it just fell off. The wound is no longer there. My skin is relatively flat where it was, but it's a soft pink. I know what a scar looks like, and it doesn't really look like one. Here's is a picture of what it looks like, it's in the circle obviously: http://s761.photobucket.com/albums/xx255/ktbug-1995/?action=view&current=Picture11.png Will it scar or will it just return to normal in a few days?

  • Answer:

    As long as there was no blood coming out when you removed the scab, then it should not leave a scar.
