A member asked:
I had many mosquito bites back in july, and over time they appear to have somewhat healed, but the skin is still purple-brownish and looks scab-like without any actual scab. that was six months ago- is there something wrong with the skin on my leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lesions that have lasted for six months should be examined by your physician. That they haven't healed may be indicative of other issues.
