Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Frequency?: this could be a form of chronic urticaria assuming that the scabs occur only after scratching. Try aggressive skin moisturizing and otc antihistamine to help with itching. If recurring, best to order a virtual consult or have your physician check it out.
