Suggest Remedy For Tissue Scab/rashes In Foot
I'm 15, 5'11, 145, and broke my foot in three places a month ago. I also got severe road rash on my foot. I've been on antibiotics and there is no infection. I had a deep, black scar tissue/scab and I picked it off today only to find a deep 3/8 deep gash on the top of my foot close to my pinky toe. What should I do?

It seems by your information that either you have an non healed ulcer or a deep atrophic scar on your foot.
1) If its an open wound then you should go for dressing every alternate day to avoid further secondary infection till the wound heals
2) If the wound is healed and there is a deep atrophic scar then first you should wait for some more time to let your body modulate the scar naturally then you have lot of options like scar revision, PRP, etc
