HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The crusting is scar tissue that is forming as part of the healing process, new skin will form under it and the scab would then fall off.
The use of topical antibiotic may help in some cases to speed up recovery but other than this it is simply a waiting process for the healing to be complete.
I hope this helps
