Scab and cut on knee
My scab on my knee has been healing pretty well but 2 days ago I went to the park to play basketball and it opened up again it looks like 2 face one half scabed and the other raw. Should I take off the other part of the scab or not. Also I've put a gauze on it for 2 days. I'm letting it air out now it is it a good idea. I'm also putting nesporin

Do not remove the scab manually. Leaving the wound open will help.
