A scab forms as part of the body's natural healing process after a wound occurs. When the skin is injured, platelets in the blood quickly gather at the site to start the clotting process, releasing chemicals that trigger the formation of a fibrin mesh. This mesh, along with dried blood and other components, hardens to create a protective barrier over the wound, preventing further bleeding and infection while the tissue beneath heals. As the underlying skin regenerates, the scab eventually falls off.

What stage of wound healing is scab formed?

A scab forms during the proliferation stage of wound healing, which follows the inflammatory phase. This stage is characterized by tissue granulation and re-epithelialization, where platelets and clotting factors work together to form a protective scab over the wound. The scab serves as a barrier to prevent infection while new tissue is generated underneath. As healing progresses, the scab eventually falls off as the underlying skin repairs itself.
