Hi!

You probably scratched yourself without knowing it.  Is it getting better or worse?

As long as it is getting better, I wouldn't worry about it.

Warmly,

Chris

er well cant really say with the info you've given. scabs are usually due to injury, could u have hurt yourself without knowing? how longs it been there for? scabs arent a sign of cancer that im aware of. do you have other symptoms?.
