A member asked:
Hi i have a scab on my leg for over a year now but it won't heel it's raised a little to looks like an ulcer once the scab has dropped off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin cancer??: Scabs that won't heal are often a squamous cell skin cancer. Anything that doesn't heal in 1-2 months should be evaluated and biopsied.
