I got a shallow dermis cut on my thigh 2 days ago, and today the scabs are looking black in some spots. i've been cleaning the wound every day and it doesn't show signs of infection. should i be concerned or is this normal?

It is normal. Leave the scab alone and it will fall off when the underlying epithelium has regenerated.
