Hi!!

No you shouldn't really alllow a deep cut to form a scab, because a scab indicates that the cut was not covered and has dried out. You must always keep a cut (deep or not deep) covered with a bandage and some anti-septic cream must also be applied to the area to keep it from getting infected. The sore must always be covered so that it can heal. There is actually a 'healing lake' if you might call it that helps the sore heal. The body produces this waterty substance so that it can heal sores. If the sore is open this watery substance dries up and the wound cannot heal properly and it also takes a long time to heal, this then causes a scab to appear.

Hope that answers your question!! =)

When you bleed red blood cells form a scab?

Red Blood Cells (RBC) do not "form a scab", they are merely trapped in the scab during blood coagulation. Platelets, carried in the blood serum form the scab by sticking to the endothelium (inside) of the blood vessel forming a plug to end bleeding. Clotting proteins than begin to condense and form the hard scab. Human RBC do not have DNA and therefore cannot act in response to external stimuli like a cut.

It should be less red than when it was done, and it'll start to form a 'crust'. This is just a scab, part of the healing process. It comes off when you clean it.
