Wash the area around the scab often and gently to keep dirt and debris and bacteria away from the scab.

You can also apply some petroleum jelly to the scab to keep the scab moist which will help the scab heal and go away sooner.

Never pick at a scab because it make the sore worse.

The scab is formed on your skin to protect the wound from infection.
