:shock:

that sounds a lot like skin cancer, my mother just got a melanoma cut out of her--and she didn't have to go on chemo only because she had caught it so early--i saw your post was made back in march so i'm sure you checked it out by now if thats what it is. I hope that you have figured it out. Best of luck.

I just recently noticed a scab exactly like the one you described and was wondering if you could tell me what yours turned out to be.

I've been suffering from something like this for about 6 months. Did you ever get a diagnosis?

Although skin cancer is always a possibility with things like this (especially when we haven't seen the spot and are only going on a description), it sounds more like eczema to me, (aka. dermatitis). They usually itch, but sometimes they don't. If it it eczema, it's not contagious or serious, although it can be uncomfortable. Keep the area moisturized with hypoallergenic cream or lotion. It's probably caused by contact with something you are allergic to, so avoid any non-hypoallergenic soaps, lotions, etc.

Regardless, you should see your doctor (maybe even a dermatologist if it's particularly bad) to have it checked out.

the ones I have appear first as scabs, but then fall off and underneath appears a red-ish tone of skin that is still in the process of fully healing. I've seen 3 doctors, one of internal medicine, and a dermatologist that has been in practice for 40 years. Furthermore, I've had a biopsy, urinalysis, culture, and a blood test. They do not itch, puss, or hurt in any way. They originated on my lower back but have spread everywhere. I think it could be a very unusual reaction to something or possibly mold. Any ideas would be nice.

Did the doctors pose any ideas about what it could be? After all of that, they must have some idea, right?

When they do heal, is there any mark or scar left? Do they take more or less time to heal than a regular scab would? How many of them do you have at one time?

I'm not 100% sure if what I have is the same thing as what you guys are all talking about, but I had a dark burn-like scab on my hipbone. I thought it was a really extreme case of ringworm, so I put some anti-fungal on it. Nothing happened.
After a couple of days, I decided to put some hydro-cortisone cream on the 'burn/scab' and it's slowly going away. I suggest attempting this. : )
