A member asked:

The scab of a cut on my thigh is dark purple. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not unusual: Since the scab is dead tissue, darkening of this substance is not unusual. This will eventually fall off exposing new skin below it. It is a protective covering and you shouldn't pull it off.
