scabbing

I know that you are supposed to scab but how much is too much scabbing. Just one small section of my sleeve I just did is scabbing but the rest of it only has small partial scabs. Is there something wrong with the part that is really scabbed up?

Nothing is really wrong with it other than you probably arent putting enough lotion on your elbows which can sometimes get extra dry. Also be careful where you place your elbows because you dont want to get them infected while you are still healing.

They shouldnt be all brown and nasty with red around the edges. Scabbing is ok but you need to really pay close attention to it or it wont heal the way it should.

When it starts to get red that means it is irritated and you need to wash it with soap and keep on eye on it so it doesnt become infected.

They can be yellow and still moist because you keep applying lotion.When they are brown and nasty they are dry and not taken care of enough.

The scab should never be dried out because the lotion should be covering it at all times

How soon will the scabbing occur?

Within the first 2 weeks of getting it done but you can reduce the scabbing by keeping it moist

Why do you itch when you get scabbed?
