there are many different opinions for this question. I have been doing alot of research on this topic lately and i find that you are supposed to keep it moist. Keeping it moist will the new cells and tissue form faster. letting it dry out kills the cells and forms scabs. i have a deep cut and it has been taking forever to heal. they say that keeping it moist helps it heal alot faster then letting it air out. putting vasaline or something to keep it moist is best to do .

Should you not allow a deep cut to form a scab?

Hi!! No you shouldn't really alllow a deep cut to form a scab, because a scab indicates that the cut was not covered and has dried out. You must always keep a cut (deep or not deep) covered with a bandage and some anti-septic cream must also be applied to the area to keep it from getting infected. The sore must always be covered so that it can heal. There is actually a 'healing lake' if you might call it that helps the sore heal. The body produces this waterty substance so that it can heal sores. If the sore is open this watery substance dries up and the wound cannot heal properly and it also takes a long time to heal, this then causes a scab to appear. Hope that answers your question!! =)

What do you put on a deep cut?

That really depends on how deep it is. Is it bleeding? It is especially red, have a bad odor, or lots of drainage? When in doubt, see your doctor. Meanwhile, you want to keep it clean and moist. Wash is with soap and water. If you have access to saline solution, use that. Otherwise, you can mix a little table salt in some warm water. Rinse the would with the warm salt water. You can use an antibiotic ointment like neosporin. If you dont have that, you can use some petroleum jelly, or vaseline. Dont use much, just a thin layer over the wound. It is best to use a non-stick dressing, but you can use plain gauze. Just remember to keep it clean, moist, and covered. Hope this helps!
