A member asked:

My mosquito bit turned into a scab and won't go away it's been on my leg for about a month ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: What may have happened is the you scratched the bite and caused a little irritation that may have drawn blood and then formed a scab. Most scabs will fall off by themselves on 7-10 days. It's important to see your family physician and have him/her examine your leg to make sure there is no underlying infection.
