A member asked:
Good day, i have a skin blister on my upper back that heals and then opens up again. it scabs and then doesnt heal for weeks. had this for a year?

See dermatologist: Would see a dermatologist as soon as you can, any wound or skin lesion that doesn't heal after an extended period of time is concerning for a skin cancer, would get a biopsy at the very least.
