[QUOTE="Jasz, post: 226877, member: 61772"] It may be tempting to peel or pick at a minor wound. But doing so can actually cause more harm than good. What happens when you pull a scab from a wound? Why is it that some scabs can be picked easily and others seem to stick like glue? And does it matter? These are great questions. Why do our bodies form scabs in the first place? When we get hurt, our bodies initiate an automatic healing process. First, blood vessels get smaller, which slows down the bleeding. Next, platelets in the blood start to clot and form a "plug" in the wound, which stops the bleeding and seals the wound for further protection. After that, the body starts to produce cells called fibroblasts that begin to rebuild tissue by producing collagen, which is what forms scar tissue. While all of this is going on under the surface of your skin, your body also releases another protein called fibrin that helps make sure your wound stays closed while it heals. The fibrin then hardens into a protective covering called a scab. It's a messy process that happens pretty quickly once it gets started, and it's always different depending on how deep or severe the wound is—or even on where it. Yea! Your wound can scratch you sometimes, especially at the final healing stage, but you shouldn't tamper it. [/QUOTE]
