        It all depends on the size of your cut/ burn or whatever. If you put some vitamin E cream on it, it will prevent infection and help it heal faster. Also aloe, (the liquid/the gel inside the aloe plant of a real aloe plant) helps the scab dry out and there for it will come off faster. Most scabs take about a week or so to fall off.
        Make sure you do not pick at the scab because it may leave a scar.

        That all depends on the size, depth and condition of the scab.  A shallow, surface wound with an average scar will take between one and two weeks to heal.
