What Causes A Bruise To Turn Into A Scab On The Scalp?
Hello Doctor, for a few years now, I have a bruise on the middle of my scalp that just doesn t do away. It develops a scab over it. Sometime I can feel the wetness of it because of its bleeding. I used dandruff shampoos thinking that its just dander or dry scalp, so I kept it moisturized. Is this normal?

Hi,
Dermatologic conditions are hard to discuss without seeing them. It can be from just picking at it, or it can be an infection or even a tumor but certainly it is not normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
