no, this is a myth you do not have to bleed to get a scab. They can be caused by merely a scrape or scratch.
A scab
a skinned knee that is not covered with a bandage willl heal faster. If uncovered the wound will form a scab faster. You should cover the scrape initially, then allow the wound to "breath" for a period of time. If pain subsides when the wound is covered, then at least uncover the wound while you sleep. If you leave a single bandage on for a long period of time without removing it, the bandage could scab to your scrape. As the blood dries it will hold to the bandage, and it is very painful to remove it. My advice is to cover the wound when needed, but leave it uncovered whenever possible.
A minor wound

scab

They can scab over and once the scab falls off, the ink may fade where the scab has been.
It hurts because there are "nerve receptors" at the end of your knee, and when you bump or scrape your knee, the nerve endings send a "signal" to your brain saying, "STOP THAT IT HURTS!" so therefore you basically experience pain.
The answer to this riddle is "scar." As a wound heals, new tissue forms over the damaged area, creating a scar. By changing one letter in "wound," which is the word mentioned in the question, you get "scar."
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.
When you have hemophilia, the proteins that clot your blood are not being created and therefore, a scab cannot be created to effeciently stop the bleeding.
