I Skinned My Knee On Thursday. I Had Gauze Over

I skinned my knee on Thursday. I had gauze over my wound for about 12 hours and the draining caused it to stick to my wound. I attempted to soak the gauze in warm water and it didn't budge. I then tried putting an excess amount of antibiotic cream to soften the skin and gauze and only could peel 1/4 of it up. As long as I keep it clean, would it be okay go leave the gauze on until it falls off with my scab?
