A cut in my nose won't heal. I don't know how it got there. It begins to scab up and I have to pick it off and it won't go away?

Answer 1

Well if it is scabbing up that means it is healing. If you keep removing the scab, it will delay the healing process. The function of a scab is to close a wound to further infection while the healing process happens underneath. Scabs should not be removed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -You can put honey on the scab. Honey is an antibiotic and helps to heal. You can put lotion on the scab because this softens the scab, in result, making it harder to pick at -if you have compulsive picking .... -if you are a girl paint your nails so when you pick you don't want to wreck your nails. -if you are a boy cut your nails short -keep your hands busy
