What is the difference between blood clot and scab?
the term blood clot is fancier than the term scab. A scab is often larger (a clot can be so small that it fits inside your artery) a scab is often an older and external clot which has hardened.While blood is solidifying and bleeding has not quite stopped, it is clotting. "Scab" has other meanings too (such as one who breaks a strike) while blood clot is unambiguous.
