How do you keep from picking at scabs? Yuck!?


Question:
I scraped my knee and I can't keep from picking it! It's never gonna heal!

Answers:
Cover it with a bandage and leave it on there. I have a hard time making myself not do that, too. My son does it as well, it's just a bad habit some people have.

Other Answers:
That is just gross
ewwww.............
duct tape
cover it with a bandage and leave it alone
you can cause an infection and it could scar from picking
Eat them after you pick them, that should break you of that disgusting habit.
Bad Girl!! You KNOW that is going to affect the healing so stop it...it's not like you're a small child who doesn't comprehend that...leave them alone!
either wrap it up, wear long pants, or just stop
i do that too!
i just pick the scabs when no ones lookin!
but i also eat them!
when i was like 7, my dog pulled me across the sidewalk, and both my knees had scabs like a centameter thick, and i would pick at them at recess.


but pick at scabs if it gets you out of doing something ( it worked in gym once for me) i picked a scab on my hand!
and it started gushing blood!
