How can I remove dried-blood from my lower lip?

A few days ago I was bitten by my friends dog on my lower lip. 1st thing 1st yes I'm taking my aintobiotics/and other medicines, the dog doesnt have rabies, and I'm we are both up to date on our shots, tetanus or w.e.

I got 3 stitches to close the wound on my lip and now theres dry blood there. What's the best way to remove the dry blood? I heard hydrogen peroxide should work. I tried that by soaking a q-tip with some then dabbing the blood but it didnt seem to loosen it. I don't want to try scraping the blood off just yet because I don't know if I'm supposed to wait or if the wound underneath is fully closed.

Maybe I should just use more peroxide than normal or wait. Any suggestions would be helpful thanks.

Update:

Epsom salt and water sounds like a good idea. A friend of mine also mentioned leaving some neosporin on it for awhile. Might try that.

    This is simply the after final result of the Anasthetic. It will have to chill out in a couple of hours. If the numbness persists over a couple of days it can be nerve harm, so make certain you get in contact together with your dentist. You could have affliction while it wears off, make certain you've got a few painkillers or neurofen. As for the cereal (make it delicate!) great to attend a further 24 hours or so and consume in your well part! Hope this is helping.
