Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The thick yellow layer that is forming is called scab and gradually new skin will grow under this scab which will replace this skin loss. Please do not worry. Avoid touching teh area with bare fingers to avoid infection.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
