Warning slightly graphic scrape on arm 25m

Okay i got a bad scrape and I just want to know what is going on, in the middle there are clearly scabs but I dont get if this middle white part is a scab and I should let it dry out or is it new skin that I should continue putting a little vasoline on. When I let it dry it it gets pretty tough. For context I dont usually keep stuff moist like I guess I'm supposed to? I've always let stuff immediately scab. But this seemed pretty bad so while researching scrape care I found out to keep vasoline on it, then I was putting to much and my skin got kinda soft. Anyways looking for advice on caring for this. This happened 5 days ago. Also 25 M
