How do you avoid pulling scab off when removing a plaster?

To avoid pulling off a scab when removing a plaster, gently moisten the plaster with water or a saline solution to soften the adhesive. Carefully peel back the plaster slowly and at an angle, rather than pulling it straight off. If resistance is felt, reapply moisture and wait a few minutes before attempting to remove it again. Always prioritize gentle handling to minimize disruption to the healing scab.
