White skin under scab
Common Questions and Answers about White skin under scab

After tuesday morning when I was able to once again pop a mass of white pus that I could feel under the skin through the scab, I was fairly confident that it was not herpes because that sounded very atypical from what I had been reading about the way herpes lesions typically behave. It seemed that a herpes lesion would not redevelop a sub surface mass of white pus that would take effort to pop through a scab.
If it were serious, would the black return or could something just be happening under the skin now? The skin all around is healthy - no infection or itching with the black spots. They are not pimples, hair follicles or inflamed in any way. It is the black color that worries me the most. They are so small - but a friend said he had a pinhead sized black mark and had to have half the skin from his chest removed because it was melanoma.
Now it looks like a brown dot in the middle (small about the size of a few pin heads) with a white circle around that with some discoloration of the skin around the white circle. Also, the bump seems to have gone down but not completely. Is that just the way the skin healed? Is it a scar? Could this be melanoma?
The next day there was just a scab. Two weeks later I picked off the scab. I was left with redness and inflammation. Now it has been two months since I discovered the bump and now it is just a white circle with hyperpigmentation around the white circle. The dark bump is gone. I went to the derm. and by the looks of the lesion he felt it was a picked hair follicle. I'm just concerned because the bump was dark and raised. The derm. did not suggest a biopsy...
It simply went away for a few days and then it came back, but this time it was getting a bit itchy. I also noticed at another time the white dry skin also had some reddish scab-like skin in there too, which I could also rub off. This goes on and off. However, the area seems to be wrinkly all the time. I have some serious concerns about this, and it really annoys me and I don't want to scare my girlfriend with this issue. Now I have noticed that the area seems to be a bit bigger then usual.
t help heal the skin. Then when washing your skin or even just accidentally brushing the scab IT COMES RIGHT OFF (since it is so weak) and new molluscum bodies (white, super fast growing little worm-like sacks that are shiny and stand out) have formed. The lesion will not go away or begin to heal until the "white plugs" are removed and even then THEY ONLY WILL HEAL when the area is protected from being infected by the virus filled white plugs.
Then upon putting dandruff shampoo on it, it burnt my skin, I could feel it burning and a scab formed. Now a bump that started off very small is a huge scab on my face. Actually the scab fell off today, it still has some swelling and the skin around it is still a little puffy, but when the scab fell off more puss came out. I'm considering going to the doctors because I'm scared to death that it could be a cold sore that would be utterly devastating.
Four days later I took the bandaid off and the pink spot (under the now removed scab) healed to the point where it isnt sensitive to the touch anymore. I worry that this pink spot will never go away because it looks as if it is finished healing (the pink part is level with the rest of my skin). Is there anything I should do? Am i permanently scarred?
(side note: I did research..wart remover is essentialy sacrylyic (sp?) acid..same stuff people use to remove acne i think..
The other day I noticed it again (thought ive forgotten about it) so then i went to restroom and squeezed and squeezed and eventually I think I broke skin but more then usual of the white stuff came out
Doesn't hurt other then the small scab over it. Looks like a small rugged burn. Lol
However I cannot tell if it's still there since a scab is there. Until it heals.
My question is what is this? It's been there my whole life.
It looks like it has been trying to heal for some weeks now, and even looked to form a white scab, however once showering it would just go back to a red lesion.
At the 5 week mark now, it is less shiny and is more dull/pink and looks more like a light scar that anything else, however a couple of days ago I noticed a small red pimple next to this spot, which looks like a small white scab again today.
Okay so about a week ago I notice a single red bump with a white head to it sort of like a pimple right below the under side of the the head of my penis.It didn't hurt at all so I decided to take tweezers to try and pop it. It didn't exactly pop but I was able to grab the head of the bump and pulled out a white relativly hard stringy substance, over the next few days I waited nervously to see if it would scab up as I had heard that was a sign of herpes.
I am 21 and since I was 19 around November 2015, 8 started having this skin issue on my upper cheek bones like under my eyes but on top of my cheek bones I would say its ontop of the zygomatic/ Malar bone. It started on both sides of my face, it would look swollen like dark purple like I got hit in the face and it would cause a dark line of skin kind of like a slash.
and what happens if scab comes off and there is pinkness for long while and there is no scab coming back, is that just discoloration from scarring, skin irritation , new skin, or viral shedding, i have had the pinkness for several weeks after the scab came off so im thinking its not viral shedding i guess im just confused about the healing process along with scabbing and pinkness in relation to the 7 days of typical shedding after "outbreak has healed" becasuse that sounds very
Today, after seeing the giant scab with pus behind it, and with a really sore nose, I decided to push on it. After the first squeeze, this really nasty white gunky stuff shot out. After a few pushes, it was just blood. A few hours later it was swollen again, so I squeezed it again and this time the scab came off leaving under it what appears to be a large HOLE in my nose.
When popped, there is white stuff that comes out, then clear liquid. Sometimes they scab. Sometimes the same bump will ooze white again. They are not clustered, and to not appear to be due to heat or reactions to food. This problem has been ongoing for months.
He is 53 years old, and in the last few months has increased his time outside as well as increased his exercise.
i left it like that doing other stuff and later when i took it off it was brownish i started rubbing it with what not, shocked, and the brownish part peeled of the skin even bigger-the size of my thumb nail.. When the upper part peeled a white part showed under it. Now it is like a wound and there is a difference between the level of my skin and the deepness of the wound.
This happened 3 days ago.
- does not heal as expected
- seems to be slightly growing in diameter
- is becoming itchy
makes me wonder if this might in fact be an early melanoma, even though it does not necessarily have other melanoma characteristics such as assymetry, unevenness or multi-coloring.
Perhaps the pictures below can give a hint as to whether this is something worth having looked at by a dermatologist, or whether it is likely to be a benign scab after all.

Recently I also have several spots on my hand which almost resemble molluscum contagiosum these spots were also present on the top of my fore arms (not bottom) approximately 8-10 on each arm. They have slowing seemed to disappear however still seem to be like pimples under my skin. My concern is that they would start as a red or brownish spot that would heal over with a small elevated(or not elevated) scab later healing and forming into these pimple like bumps.
