picking at scab

[mollykins]

i have a scab on my knee and its sore when i bend it, and because of the bending i started to come off the other day, so i couldnt help my slef picking at it, which made it sorer initially, but not so bad when i bent it but the scab has come back and i have thr urge to keep picking at it, what the best way to stop my slef? a plaster? but won't it come off from the movement of the knee?

Don't pick the scab it acts as a natural plaster, put some antiseptic cream on that will soften it .

[ummmm]

Things we have all been through then :-)

I'd carry on picking it............My sister and I used to see who could get the biggest bit off all in one piece, but we never ate them (or bogeys either)

[ummmm]

No....just wiped them on the arm chair Craft...lol

You did say that you were in a school which is excellent in English, did you not?

Would query "sorer initially", surely "more sore initially"?

However , leave the scab alone and it will heal , and focus on your revision.

I'm sooo glad I haven't eaten yet lol :)
