Wound scabs that do not fall off may be due to the wound not yet fully healed. Once the wound heals, the scab will naturally fall off. It is not advisable to pick at the scab with your hands before it falls off, as this may cause bleeding in the wound again, which is prone to bacterial infection and may even leave unsightly scars.
1. Skin cancer can lead to scabbing in local skin areas, but it cannot be cured. Skin cancer produces some abnormal spots on the skin in the early stages of onset. These spots are usually flat or raised. After slight stimulation, the disease will exhibit symptoms of abnormal bleeding and scabbing, and this condition will persist. When we encounter this situation, we must pay close attention and be vigilant against the occurrence of this serious disease of skin cancer.
2. The persistent non-healing of skin scabs may also be due to improper wound care, leading to infection. Many people do not pay attention to some wounds on their skin, and if the wounds receive some adverse stimuli after scabbing, local infection and wound contamination may occur, leading to prolonged inability to heal.
3. If the scab at the patient's wound site forms a foreign body granuloma, the scab will not completely fall off. Concurrent removal of the foreign body granuloma is required to completely remove the scab. Secondary suturing of the wound can be performed after surgery to avoid the formation of foreign body granuloma and scabs again.
