A member asked:
Should you let a scab naturally fall off if it's on your nose after dermabond was applied?

Yes: Leave it alone as much as you can. It will come off on its own.

Leave it: Dermabond will serve as a matrix to let the underlying tissue heal. If it is not causing bothersome symptoms i would let the dermabond fall off on its own.
