When you get a cut or a scab, it is important to take care of your wounds so you do not come away with scars. Scars can sometimes never be removed and so you will be stuck looking at an ugly piece of skin for the rest of your life! Scars occur when there is either pressure on your cut so it cannot heal naturally or when you pick at the scab that forms. Also, if you have a cut on the top of your foot, or somewhere that will constantly be in contact with clothing, it is important to put a band-aid on that will hang tight otherwise your cut will have a really hard time healing.
