I have scab that does not want to heal properly and is growing??

Exam needed: When there is a lack of healing and a lesion continues to grow cancer becomes a consideration. This could also be due to an infection which needs to be treated. I therefore recommend that you go to a medical clinic as soon as possible for an exam. A biopsy of your lesion may be taken for pathological exam at that time.
