A member asked:
Does sweat affect facial scabs fell 2 months ago. so i workout and sweat a lot and my scabs get super red during/after running and exercising.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What is cause?: Sweat will make any skin lesion red and scaly, yes; but what sort of scabs are we talking about? Chronic scabbing on the face is not normal. You should see a dermatologist and get a definitive diagnosis and treatment.
