There shouldn't be any scab formation. You are doing fantastic but keeping the wound moist is essential.

Skin tears due to thin skin are really hard to manage. Prednisone doesn't help the situation because it increases the risk of infection and slows the healing process.

Yes. Good point. No Scab. Thats why you have to leave the bandage on. 10 days sometimes with this prednisone damaged skin is not long enough.
