Scraping has a good impact on maintaining the level of public health during a pandemic because, during a pandemic, access to health facilities is very much restricted, so alternative self-medication becomes an essential thing to do. It can be concluded that scraping is a treatment technique that deserves to be studied and applied to maintain health in everyday life.
