I have a raised area on my back, a little larger than a pencil eraser. it is covered with white crusty material that easily falls off, then it bleeds?

Psoriasis: Your symptoms may be caused by psoriasis, or something similar. Avoid using any treatments on it so your doctor can see it in its natural state.

See a dermatologist: A crusted area on the skin that bleeds is suspicious for a skin cancer. Recommend you see a dermatologist who will examine your skin and biopsy any lesions of concern.
