    protective crusts forming over wounds to aid healing

    Scabs, also known as crusts or eschar, are protective layers that form over a wound or damaged skin as part of the body's natural healing process. They consist of dried blood, plasma, and other fluids, and serve to protect the underlying tissue from infection while new skin cells regenerate.
