How can I remove dried-blood from my lower lip?!
Question: A few days ago I was bitten by my friends dog on my lower lip. 1st thing 1st yes I'm taking my aintobiotics/and other medicines, the dog doesnt have rabies, and I'm we are both up to date on our shots, tetanus or w.e.
I got 3 stitches to close the wound on my lip and now theres dry blood there. What's the best way to remove the dry blood? I heard hydrogen peroxide should work. I tried that by soaking a q-tip with some then dabbing the blood but it didnt seem to loosen it. I don't want to try scraping the blood off just yet because I don't know if I'm supposed to wait or if the wound underneath is fully closed.
Maybe I should just use more peroxide than normal or wait. Any suggestions would be helpful thanks.

put some epsom salt in water and take a small piece of cotton and soak it for a bit. it will come right off and do no damage.
