i know that picking a scab makes it more likely to have a scar, but if there's not a scab, but just new skin that hasn't all the way healed yet, will cutting the same spot again leave a scar? what about putting a bandaid so the sticky part is on an old cut that hasn't totally healed yet?

Yes, a new cut on top of an old one is more likely to cause a scar.
As for the sticky part of a bandaid being on top of an unhealed cut- well I'm not so sure. It will make it so the injury can't 'breathe', as such. And so take longer healing.

Have accidentally cut a place open again on my hand, the scar is barley visible. You can buy the butterfly bandaids that work to keep the cut closed. They work great.

Yes, if you cut over another cut or scar it will scar more.

yeah, because it causes more tissue damage. why? do you abuse yourself that way? I've seen people who do that. your 360 was disturbing. i hope not. if you do there is help for you. your a nice young woman. good luck.
