Something I’ve always been curious about is how cuts or burns inside of your mouth heal without forming a hard scab like you would get on your skin. Does blood clot differently in our mouths?

You don’t need a hard scab to heal. Notice how your wounds on your skin stop bleeding before they get a hard outer layer? Moreover, they actually heal better without the scab. That’s why fancy bandages like hydrocolloid ones keep the area moist, not dry. (Not all wounds are better off this way of course)
