I Have Black Itchy Bump On Upper Abdominal Region. What Is It ?
Honestly could not find a generic community for selection: I was actually browsing with questions about a very small itchy bump/scap initially ...... me scratching it and it definitely being a scabbed area and the fact I keep picking the scab off. The area is not real large, but the scab is black and obviously a recessed thickend scap after being removed so many times. This is on my upper stomach (on the side).

hi
u must not prick the scab.
allow to heal naturally.
apply antibiotic and hydrocortisone cream twice a day.
tab cetrizine at night
drink more water.

welcome to healthcaremagic
if you keepn picking the scab a fresh wound will follow and the area will be larger
do not pick it allow it to fall of naturally
consult dermatologist and take treatment

Hi,thanks for query.It could probably a fungal infection.This causes itching and formation of scab when it is infected.You need special anti fungal cream for this.Please talk to your doctor and get treated for it.Please try to avoid repeated scratching.It may lead to formation of mark there .bye.
