A scab on your face that falls off and comes back can be a sign of a few things, including: 1. Poor wound healing or chronic skin conditions:
Scabs are temporary: A normal scab forms to protect a wound as it heals and should eventually fall off once the skin underneath is repaired. Recurring scabs can indicate a problem: If a scab keeps forming in the same spot, it could suggest that the skin is not healing properly, perhaps due to factors like infection, excessive scratching, or underlying skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.
2. Potential signs of skin cancer: Basal cell carcinoma: This common type of skin cancer can appear as a sore that may bleed, scab over, appear to heal, and then repeat this cycle of bleeding and scabbing.
Squamous cell carcinoma: This form of skin cancer can manifest as a scaly, persistent reddish patch with irregular borders that might crust or bleed.
Actinic keratosis: These are considered pre-cancers that can appear as dry, scaly patches and may feel rough. They can fall off and return in the same area.
Important notes: Don't ignore it: If a scab on your face persists for more than a few weeks or repeatedly falls off and returns, it's essential to have it examined by a dermatologist. Dermatologist evaluation: A dermatologist can determine the underlying cause and recommend the appropriate treatment, which may include medication, wound care, or procedures to address cancerous lesions. Early detection is crucial: Prompt diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer significantly improve the chances of a successful outcome. Other causes of facial scabs (even if not recurrent): Acne Dermatitis Impetigo Cold sores Insect bites Psoriasis Shingles Allergic reactions Cuts and abrasions Burns Certain autoimmune conditions Harsh skin care products
In summary, a recurring scab on your face should not be ignored. It's crucial to consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan to ensure proper healing and address any potential concerns, especially regarding skin cancer.
I had a place on my cheek that did the same thing. And after the scab fell off, it would get sunburn. I went years with my GP, and then new GP saying "it's just eczema. Use some moisturizer."
Finaly saw the derm, who promptly said pre-cancerous lesion. She froze it off in her office, no problem.
I'm not a doc, I'm just saying what you describe is how I'd describe my spot.
LadyJane, this needs to be seen by a doctor. It is likely you can do research on skin lesion images online and find some info, and this is perhaps a sun spot only that needs to be kind of "frozen" off by a dematologist, but it isn't something that you can ignore. Things that are left to chance and time can get dangerous. Head on off you your doc with this one. You have posted under cancer and so it is clear what you fear. I have had a recent cancer of the breast that sent out satellites (honestly, that is what they call them) to my skin in the form of something that looked so benign as three little pimples all in a row. Just go in to the doc to reassure yourself, or to try to catch something that could "go bad" early. Good luck. Hope you'll update us.
