You pierced your lip and took it out Now theres a scab How do you make the scab heal fast?
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.
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!! =)
