I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Eventually, the blood clot hardens into a crusty protective layer known as a scab. As the damaged tissue regenerates, it pushes out the scab, replacing it with new skin. Typically, a scab is dark red or brown. As the scab ages, it becomes darker and may even turn black. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
