So the bacteria doesn't go in and the scab has to form quickly so the cut can heal.
The scab forms a seal over the cut, helps to keep germs at bay, and so lessen the chances of the cut becoming infected.
Scar tissue is formed under the scab.
This is a scab that needs to be kept suple with an apropriate cream in order to heal quickly.
Clot, or 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.
to prevent any infections
it's called a scab
A scab is made up of the blood clot and dried tissue fluids that form over a wound. It has an important function in keeping the wound bacteria free while the skin cells underneath divide rapidly to heal the opening. Eventually, the scab will fall off (usually within one or two weeks) and new epithelial tissue will cover the wound. MY ANSWER...addin on,after a shower or bath a scab shrinks.i noticed today.
Uh, I didn't, and there isn't, but I assume you're talking about yourself. There's nothing you can do to make a scab heal more quickly. Hopefully it isn't infected (and if it is, antibiotics are the answer). Do NOT put anything on it. No harsh stuff like peroxide and no ointments like Neosporin. We all know picking at scabs just causes a new scab to form (and scarring), and letting them get blasted off in the shower or otherwise get wet and fall off does the same thing. Just leave it alone, like any other scab, and let it do its thing.
