A member asked:

Can skin grow over a scab? it looks like it did on a old wound where a boil used to be that was drained and healed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes, once the scab falls off and if it was not a big or deep wound, healthy skin can form over it. With bigger scabs usually a scar tissue is left behind.
