Scarring is the body’s natural way to heal an open wound or cut. The growth of new tissue and collagen closes and seals the wound while cleaning out dead skin and blood cells in the form of a scab. Any minor infection or debris is dealt with by the body’s immune system. An oozing of blood, pink or clear liquid is normal in the early stages of healing as the body provides a stream of protein, amino acids, white blood cells and water to rebuild the area, fight infection and keep it clean. As this oozing dries it causes a scab acting as a protective barrier which falls off when the wound is fully healed. Sometimes the scab falls off early and a newer one is produced.
