I don't know about the scab, but being warm to the touch is often an indication of infection. It might be a good idea to have it looked at if possible.

it sounds like it might be infected or starting to become infected. get it looked at soon before it gets any worse.

Warm to the touch, as everyone else has said, indicates infection. Get it looked at if you can, but of course, this may not be possible for you. If you can't get it looked at, put some peroxide on it if you have it, some anti-biotic ointment and some kind of dressing. Change the dressing often. But if it does start to get worse, you really do need to get it checked out.

NO PEROXIDE!!!!!

EVER!!!!

Peroxide will dry out the wound, damages good cells, and disrupts the healing process.

It is possible that you cuts are infection, do they have any puss comming out of them? Any possible infection needs to be seen by a doctor so that you can get antibiotics if necessary.

Someone should make a post with the "Do's and Donts" of what to do and what not to do, because so many people suggest peroxide :o
