Brief Answer:
Seborrhoeic keratosis- normal aging sign

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

I can understand your concern for the black scab on the skin.

After thoroughly analysing the picture let me reassure you that the black scab is normal aging tissue which is known as Seborrhoeic keratosis. You can go on Internet and compare image for your ready reference.

It is a simple benign proliferation of the skin which appears dark due to deposition of pigment known as melanin.

It never leads to any problem throughout life and never turns into any malignant growth. So do not worry about this normal natural aging process of skin.

I hope these informations will relax your mind.

I will be glad to answer any further queries.

With regards,
