Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I can understand your concern for the black scabs on foot.

After reading your query with diligence I can make out that you have the healing lesions which are dark in color and are rough to touch.

It is quite usual to find such kind of appearance in healing areas and there is nothing abnormal in the same.

I suggest you to apply a bland moisturizing lotion or cream over these areas. Additionally if you feel taht these lesions have not healed then can apply an antibiotic cream such as Mupirocin over the affected areas.

Do not try to pinch or scratch the raw areas as can cause secondary infection.
Your areas will heal soon if you are not touching them.

All the best.
