A member asked:
I grazed my crown on the corner of a table over a year ago, which took a 1/8" x 1/2" chunk. i use antibiotic but there's still a scab. no pain or itch?

Scab: for over a year is very unusual. It sounds like this is somehow incorporated into your scalp. I would suggest a visit to dermatology to evaluate this lesion.
