Hi! i've a question in regards to a "scab" on my leg. it's been there for years. i used to pick at it but it'll just scab over again. it looks scaly. i've heard that chemical peels would get rid of it...what should i do?

Collagen: You have a knee scab that continues to be a problem years after the injury. The problem is you no longer have normal skin there, you have collagen. Try apllying a skin moisturizer every day for 1 month. This should help. You can try other creams if no improvements after the month.
