How it's used
Focuses specifically on the physical process of a wound forming a protective layer during the healing phase. It is commonly used when checking on someone's recovery progress after a minor injury or scrape. Unlike formal medical descriptions, this term feels very natural and tactile in everyday speech.
Examples
Your wound is starting to scab over.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe permanent scars, which are referred to as 疤痕. 結疤 implies the active, temporary stage of healing where a scab is present.
