New skin ! If you cut yourself, the body despatches loads of platelets to the wound site to stop blood oozing out - which form the scab. This is a barrier to stop infection getting into the cut. Underneath the the scab, the body sets to work forming new skin and blood vessels to repair the cut.

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.

What is the difference between a scab and a virus?
A scab is a dried-up, crusty patch of dead skin on any part of your body on the skin. A virus is completely different from a scab, because a virus is what messes up computers, or carries colds and other diseases (diseases like the flu, the common cold, etc.) that affect human health. Though, the only way in which a scab and virus are related is that if the scab is scratched off, or there is an open spot in the scab, a virus could enter the body through the scab.
What is the process and which the body controls bleeding?
Clotting, which is done by the platlets in the blood. They basically stick together and form a sort of dam. This we usually see in the form of a scab on the surface of the wound being clotted.
