:( and skinned my knee.
I go on holidays on a week and really dont want a scab, is there anything I can do that wil either heal it up quicker than usual or stop it scabbing?
or failing that, is there any makeup or anything that would cover a scab?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Scabs should form over any cut or graze, they are a sign that the cut or graze is healing properly. A scab is made up of dried up blood, which protects you against germs. It�s tempting to fiddle with scabs and pick them off, but try not to. Interfering always makes the cut or graze take longer to heal and means it could also leave a scar.
You could try rubbing moisturiser into the scab, but covering it up might slow down the natural healing process of drying out and falling off. Some make up might help I guess if it really is that important.

well it would seem that everyone has a remedy. I can only speak from my own experience, which is that I have fallen twice taking the skin of the same cheek bone (no blood, just red dots on the surface) and both times I put vaseline on it, it didn't scab over, it didn't scar and it was gone in a week.
Best of luck whatever you decide but as 4get says -don't pick.

When I have tattoo's I use bepanthene/bepanthol which I think is nappy rash cream. The scab comes off in the cream as opposed to hardening. Put some cream on the ncover it with cling film. Change this dressing 3 times a day for 3 days then on days 4 and 5 just put the cream on.
