What Are The Scabs On My Knee?
I have been having these small red scabs come up. They start off pin sized and then they turn a darker brown scab that grows. My biggest one looks like a skin blister. I have about 5 scabs on my torso and the biggest one is about a quarter size on my knee. What could these be?

Hi,
It may be impetigo. consult the dermatologist for the perfect and proper treatment. A short course of antibiotic and anti inflammatory drugs may be taken for a week or two. If the lesions recur, blood investigations may be done to find out internal disease and immunity status.
Hope this helps.
