What is the best quickest way to heal a scab?

Question

Hey y'all,
I am kind of freaking out because I have a pretty big scab on my chin and I need it to go away before next week as I am a bridesmaide for a wedding! Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Truth: Moist skin heals fastest because the task of healing a wound requires the activity of cels. Cells cannot function in a dry environment. They need moisture to do their repair work.



As the wound dries out, it begins to crust, forming a scab causing the cells to work harder to repair the injury. The key to healing a cut is maintaining the right amount of moisture. Keeping the cut covered with a bandage and adding a medicated ointment will ensure it stays moist.

Answer 2

If you feel as though the wound has healed most of the way you can soak it in water (or do this while in the shower) and rub it off once it doesn't feel hard anymore. Just be sure not to make it bleed for it will scab up again.

If this doesn't work you will just have to cover it up with make up.
