Titles a bit long, sorry.

About two weeks ago i got a nickel sized burn on my arm from cooking grease on fry night. I ended up scratching it open in my sleep.

the wound is scabbed over and not open. Ive been cleaning and bandaging it. its clearly tightening and closing with scabs.

The wound is on my under for arm about the size of a nickel. I want to go in and donate plasma. Will they reject me due to its position and its scabbed over?

    As its not fully healed they may possibly say "not this time".The only way to find out is to go along and ask them.
