Scabs

Dear Drew,
To the best of my knowlege there is no correlaton between picking scabs and skin cancer. I do know that picking scabs can cause scarring.
One concern is how often and why you pick at the scabs. It has been documented that chronic scab picking may be associated with a compulsive disorder so you may want to speak with your physician.
