What should I do if I accidentally pick off the scab after removing the stitches?

Normally, the scabs that can be picked off, if there is no obvious discomfort, do not need special treatment. Do not worry too much about picking off the scabs after removing the stitches, as long as they are handled correctly and in a timely manner, they can heal naturally. 1. If the scab is picked off, the wound should be cleaned promptly with iodophor and other disinfectants, and anti-inflammatory ointment, such as erythromycin ointment, should be applied to the local area to prevent infection. 2. If there is a foreign body such as fine sand in the wound, the wound should be cleared first, rinse the wound with saline, disinfect it with iodophor after cleaning, and then cover it with gauze, bandage it, and change the medicine regularly. 3. After general treatment, in the absence of abrasions, the skin under the scab heals in 3 to 5 days, and the scab falls off naturally. In short, make sure the wound is clean before re-scabbing, and after re-scabbing, the wound can slowly recover.
