What Is The Cause For Itchy Spots On My Forehead?
Hello,
I have a few spots on my forehead and hairline that I thought were a few small scrapes that would scab over. They did scab over with a yellow crust and have not healed after 10 days. This morning I woke to a new one which seems it is spreading. They itch and burn a little bit. Thanks.
