It usually takes a week or two unless you do something about it.
Put honey on your scab to let it dry.
Then wipe it off about 10 minutes.
After that put some toothpaste on it to let it dry.
It drys up the skin to help the scab fall off
I hope i helped
P.s. If this doesnt work, try cetaphil

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the size, depth and condition of the scab. Scabs remain in place to protect the healing skin as cells develop and nerves are reconnected. The purpose of the scab is to act like a shield to prevent infection and further damage to vulnerable tissue, nerves and blood vessels. That scab may be unattractive, but its purpose is valuable and necessary.
A shallow, surface wound with an average scar will take between one and two weeks to heal. However, there are several factors that will determine the length of time it will take for a scab to heal up.
Has the Scab Been Disturbed?
Every time you disturb or remove a scab, you add time to the healing process. It's best to leave scab removal to Mother Nature; the scab will fall off when it is good and ready. If you remove a scab before it is ready, you risk infection and you prolong the healing process.
How Deep or Wide is the Wound?
If the wound is deep or wide, you will notice the scab taking a longer time to heal.
Is the Tissue Beneath the Scab Infected?
Infection can delay the healing and falling off of a scab. Once the infection has cleared up, the final healing of the tissue under the scab can finish. As long as the tissue is infected, the scab will hang on, trying to protect the tissue from further damage.
To quickly heal a scab, apply triple antibiotic ointment with a topical analgesic. The ointment will keep the scab soft and moist, the antibiotic will prevent infection and the analgesic will stop the scab from itching, prompting you to disturb it. Cover the scab with a bandage if possible.

Do cuts take longer to heal if you peel the scab?
Yes, peeling off the scab can disrupt the natural healing process, leading to longer healing times and potential scarring. It is best to let the scab fall off on its own to promote proper healing and reduce the risk of infection.
You ripped skin on your face from waxing its red and sore how long will it take to heal?
It will scab over in a few days. After a week or so the scab will fall off (keep it moist, by the way). After the scab falls off, the underlying skin will be pink/red. Keep this moisturized and, most importantly, protected at all times from the sun with sunscreen. The pink/red should gradually fade and the natural skin tone should return. This could take weeks or even months. After 3 months, if the skin tone isn't natural, see a dermatologist for more intensive suggestions for fading the scar.
What happens when your scalp bleeds?
The blood will clot and turn into another scab. If you pick this scab, it will bleed again and will take longer to heal and leave a much worse scar.
