For example, if someone scratches a mole until it bleeds, the resulting lesion, a crust, is now a secondary skin lesion. The most common secondary skin lesions include: 1  crust: a crust, or a scab, is created when dried blood forms over a scratched and irritated skin lesion. 2  ulcer: typically caused by a bacterial infection or physical trauma. 3  scale: patches of skin cells that build up and then fall off the skin.
Best Answer: Wounds start healing before scabs form. In fact, scabs are not necessary for a wound to heal. Studies have shown that wounds kept covered heal up to 3 days faster than wounds left uncovered; covered wounds stay moist and often don't scab at all. So, I would advise you use some antibacterial ointment such as neosporin and then bandage your cut.
