Scabs on legs: you have had some sort of trauma or infection. There is nothing to do to get rid of them overnight. I suggest you see your doctor or dermatologist to determine the source and determine any treatment needed.

I don't think: there is anything that can get them off overnight. Scabs are dead skin, inflammatory cells, and body fluid that dried up. Until the underlying skin can heal, you should not peel them off, because it can result in worse, sometimes permanent, scarring. Consult with your doctor for more specific advice.
