Drs. Rx: How to Let Your Scab Heal Properly 

It's more complicated than just keeping it moisturized. The body requires special nutrients at appropriate levels to heal a wound let alone properly.

Wow I was actually right. I have scabs from pimples, and I was thinking petroleum jelly would help with a band aid for a couple nights would help. And they do. It may be uncomfortable but it works and it helps relieve itching and irritation from the scab as well. What you do is leave petroleum jelly on the scab with a bandage over it over night then let it breathe during the day. It takes a couple days for it to heal, and it helps keep it from scaring.

When I was 14 years old, I used to watch this show on Mbc4, I was obsessed with it

If you are sensitive to petroleum, try Shea butter! I use refined and melt some into a small container to avoid contamination in the big tub and to get rid of the grainy particles that naturally occur in the butter! Its a miracle worker honestly.

I kept it moisturised and one of my road rashes started to become infected because of it. I did keep it clean every day and still found that letting it scab is a better solution

An amazing natural dressing for a graze, wound or scar is aloe Vera leaf. Slice the leaf leaving the gel intact and place over the top holding in place with a breathable material plaster or bandage depending on scenario. Not only is it soothing and moist but it has so many beneficial enzymes that help to aid the healing process, while also acting as a great anti inflammatory.

I was itching for an answer, and got one. I'm using Florouracil on my forehead, on an area about an inch and a half wide by 3/4 inch high. Funny thing about the cream..It will tell you where to put the cream after a few days. And always on a larger area than you thought you needed to. It's a cream used very very sparingly on spots that look like they might be precancerous, or maybe cancerous. It is used twice a day, a very thin coating is all you need, and in about 10 days, that area will probably grow in size with a burn look and eventually scab after about 15 days or more. Slowly. Being a man, I have no problem trimming my fingernails super short while this thing takes forever to scab and heal. I have no nails to pick at it when it burns and itches. I do toss a Gabapentin down just to smooth out the bumps. So, after watching this, I just stole a couple dots of my roommate's high priced moisturizer. I wonder if I have Lachyrdrin laying about in the back of my cabinet...it's a game of bravery and fear dealing with this stuff.

I have scabs on the back of my arm like 3 bad ones. I keep picking on them and they never heal. It’s been almost a year now. I started putting neosporin on with a band aid. I leave it on all day and when i go to bed. In 3 days there was a drastic better change. It almost makes the scars disappear.

Omg Vazaleen can be used for everything 😍

Wish I had seen this earlier. I currently have a big hard scab on my forehead but thought if I messed with it, or didn’t let it dry out a fall off on its own, it would leave a scar…now y’all are telling me the opposite. Better go get the Vaseline!

That’s why when you moisturize the scab it usually falls off. It usually does in the shower.

Okay, but I need this compared to picking scabs as well.

I just pick my scabs

GOD bless🙏🏾💕

Coconut oil or shae butter works wonders

A dermatologist told me years ago that Vaseline helps scrapes heal. Helps new cells grow across the scrape. Doing that right now after rubbing off a temporary tattoo too hard!!

I got stitches on my upper eyelid 2 days ago. I still have 4 stitches inside, but when can I put vaseline on? After removing stitches or can I put vaseline already today?

God damn it. I kept my scab very dry, and it’s healing very slowly

I just be peeling it out n shi 😂

ive had numerous lacerations and have needed stitches a bunch of times due to my active lifestyle and carelessness. when i was younger i had a radiator burn and there was a friend of mine who it happened too also on the same arm same situation same radiator lol. i remember his dad took him to the hospital to treat for burns and they wrapped his arm up. i didnt have insurance so i didnt go to the hospital and was in bed from the pain omg i remember like was yesterday !!! my uncle saw me and took a piece of aloe vera plant outside and told me to put the aloe and dont cover it. everytime i showered i would just put a new coat of aloe and thats it. never covered it. a few days later after the pain my skin started to peel it looked horrible like the terminator but i just continued to do what my uncle said . it wound up healing and i saw my friend months later and where he had his burn the bandage was off and he had this huge scar . my arm till this day shows no signs of the incident. ever since then i refuse to cover my wounds or cuts i let them scab and heal on their own and ive never regretted it. in fact i notice when i put bandages on the cuts they take longer to heal. i don't think cuts were meant to be covered i think they are meant to scab and repair itself naturally but hey thats just my opinion from experience

the reason why I'm here is so that why my scar can stay I want it to be seen lol I got branded

As a kid, knees and elbows, a mess. Fell, picked the scabs and now have scar covered knees and elbows. Whatever, badges of honor.

I just got these wounds. I clean it everyday, and removing the scab by the process. Now my wounds got deeper and painful. I better change the way to treat it. Thanks for the information.

So if I keep putting lotion and wash it? 😁

is it okay to have rebond with scabs?

How about the scabs in your scalp after a hair transplant ?

One 13th day of my hair transplant surgery Is it ok ? Any problme

yes its true i try it on my face and it worrks

I have a huge scab on my cheek that made my eye swell shut and my mom says i dont need to see a doctor but im pretty sure i need to because its a scab that has to airway to heal :(

What is the best form of treatment for severe road rash ? I did a really bad job on myself in a motorcycle accident. Hospitals told me to use betadine but nurse that is coming to my house to dress the wounds daily have said better to use moisturiser 🤷‍♂️

So how do I get the color of the skin to come.baxk faster after the scab fall off

I feel of my dirt bike on the road cause of a cat and I de gloved the left side of my thumb and now the scab is yellow is that fine

Im here because I got this itch scar and its been here from 2020, and its been 8 months

Yeah I never do that and I’m 1000% okay all my cuts after 24-72 hours depending on the depth and then bandages off when the scab dries slowly pick it off if it bleeds let it scab again and wait 3 days try again when you take the scab off and it doesn’t bleed it’s in the perfect healing process in my opinion

Watching this when have scabs on the body and thinking how can I heal it.

I have a tatto appointment and I have a scab we’re I’m getting it

If you have shingles keep it dry and you DON’T want it wet.

I always picked my facial wound scabs and doesnt have patience to wait for it to peel off ,So I ended making the wounds worst ,I have this symptoms where I always pick scabs on my face that prevent my wounds from healing Completely.

Lol when I was kid I never knew it was this bad

I have a brown circle on the spot where I popped my pimple. Is that what a scab is suppose to be?

I got accident and i have 5 stitches on right side of chin and the beard of the chin gone peeled when the nurse removed the bandage which was tied not to get swelling in my face .That bandage got removed after 2 days. So the skin above the stitches gone peeled and look pink , so please answer me the skin will be normal as it was before or it gonna be a scar for Life time. And the 5 stitches will be a scar or not and the beard will grow or not.....?

Why no Neosporin? I've usrd it for years with no issues.

Oh... so I shouldn't have peeled it...

Dr Sonia Batra is so awesome, really beautiful, I love her!😍

i had a scab on my nipple😭 but it was super itchy so i put a bandaid but when i took off the bandaid it took the scab with it, and tthis happened like 5 times now and a month later its still like no scab

I fell on my face and don’t want a scar

Scars are awesome

I put ointment on mine and it became like mushy and just came off with a touch

What if I have a scab? Can I apply Vaseline on it now even though I have a scab? I don’t want a huge scar after my scab comes off.

Vaseline all day everyday

try telling that to those kentucky doctors, i have a laproscopic scar on my belly button (below it) and honestly it's best to let it dry out.

I should call my doc I know but I need help with something I had a very bad cut 3 inches long and about an inch deep I have 13 stitches on the wound and it has completely scabbed over the stitches is that bad?

Oh

I have moisturising cream but it's past the expiry date. Can I still use it?

I thought he said "you guys are disgusting" lol

Bruhhhh I just need my road rash scab to stop reopening. I don't have anything to put on it other than Neosporin

I’m not afraid of scars..li AM however concerned about infections, Will a hard scab cause infections.

I had a cold sore on and I picked it when it was dry will I get a scar?

I have a big ass scab on my face and when I got hurt it just missed my eye

I got scar after scab off what should I do plz reply. My scar like white where scab off ND surroundings become brown. Plz help me ND plz tell me is it permanent scaring or temporary scaring 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏

Guys, guys... I have the answer: Use advanced healing hydro seal bandaids. They will keep the area moist but also protected and free from infection. Just follow the instructions and your wounds will heal over real fast.

Certainly just helped the top of my foot sore! I had water retention and the skin lifted off the top of my foot like a water blister most painful thing ever! Using inodone patches didn't work dressing it would just make it worse going back to the start of when needed changed I tried vasoline just because why the heck not nothing else was working this hole was getting like a hole in top of foot it's still on the mend today's but it's all healed with just a small thin scab running down the middle of the old wound all new skin rapidly grew around it keeping the foot up is a must! It's very hard and so uncomfortable to keep your foot up constantly believe it or not but this does work the best! I'm actually very shocked how fast it started to heal!

God bless Dr.Igudia on RU-vid, all my life will keep thanking you for the great help and for your product which actually works in eradicating herpes simplex virus out of my body system.

You have my maximum respect Dr Igudia, I am now negative from genital herpes virus after I did the test, I wonder what might have become of me it I didn't get the herbal cure From your RU-vid channel. God bless you sir.

Petrolatum
