After removing a substantial amount of skin from my shoulder in france a few years ago, keep it moist!
There’s nothing worse than trying to move a body part which has a big scab that doesn’t want to bend.
The chemist in Morzine supplied some gel covered mesh type stuff, which combined with a normal bandage over the top, worked very well.
The mesh stuff stopped the bandage from sticking, while still soaking up anything that weeped out.
The scab did still dry out a bit, and it was painful to move my shoulder until I’d worked up a bit of sweat to soften the scab, but it was no where near as bad as the day I thought it was heeled enough to not bother keeping it dressed!
And in case anybody wants to see my scabby shoulder, clicky here
