How long does it take for the skin underneith a scab to heal so that it doesn't bleed when you take it off? It's gross yes, but bear with me:)

Well it started out kinda flat, but now it's poped up, and riased in the middle, and the sides, so I figure it's about ready to come off, but I don't want to take it off if it's going to bleed more, but it's also quite important that I take it off as soon as possible.

depending on how bad the cut was it could take anywhere from 3 days to a week. Once it looks pretty flakey you should be able to take it off, if it does bleed up some cream on it to help it heal faster.

It depends on the depth of the cut. A scab will fall off after the skin under it is healed. Just give it a light scrub everyday and wait.

It depends on the size of the scab and the depth of the wound, but I would say from 1-2 weeks. Just wait until the scab falls off -- don't pick at it.

When the scab falls off, everything is healed. Don't touch!!
