Scar

[studentRN]

I have had this scar on my back since i was young, but it's not like a normal scar, it just looks like scabs but with the same texture as skin but still brown and elevated from the normal skin, like scabs would be. Any thoughts on what this is?

I dont have any idea what it is.. but you could try to research on what had happed back when your young. that way you can have a slight idea on what it is or what is the cause of that scar.

sounds like what is called a keloid scar. A general physician should be able to confirm that. They aren't dangerous, but if you are prone to them you need to be aware of that if you have a large wound or have to have surgery, as the same type of scar could occur.
