Cuts, bruises, and injuries are part of life and we\u2019ve all dealt with wounds and scabs that appear thereafter. But what is a scab and why does it occur?

A scab is a crusty layer that appears over a wound. Made up of a layer of dried skin cells, the protective crust is part of the body’s healing process. A protective layer begins to form soon after injury. As the wound heals, this layer dries up, turning crusty. The scab automatically sheds away once the wound is fully healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
