A member asked:
Every few months i get a little old looking scab that comes out. it's just like any old sore scab but there's never a reason for it. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dermatologist: What does the skin look like before a scab appears? Is there any lesion present? Any strange looking or acting spots on the skin are best evaluated by a dermatologist especially if nonhealing of any lesion is present.
