I scratched a tag of skin on the top of my buttocks. the skin has since formed a scab. i am experiencing a dull pain in the same area as this thing is healing? do you think this warrants further investigation?

Blemish: often the human blemish can cause itchiness. If you are not having a fever or redness I don't think that this needs to be further investigated. If this would persist after a week then having evaluation may be warranted.
