Answer 1

if you want it to not heal you should keep removing the scab early so that the wound failed to clot, basically you should keep it bleeding
if the bleeding stop, it would heal no matter what.

but remember the blood cloting happened from below the open wound, so you should dig deeper from the outter scab, making bigger and deeper wound.
