I noticed a scab on my lower stomach about three weeks ago. I never had a cut or anything that would have caused it.
I didn't worry too much at first but when looking at it again today it still looks the same. It doesn't seem to hurt or feel sore to the touch. It hasn't changed or appeared to heal.
I am very concerned. Should I give it a little more time to heal or should I go to the dr. right away? Has anyone had a scab take this long to heal?

Sounds like a skin parasite. Have you taken any antiparasitic herbs?

No, I have not taken antiparasitics. I did salt c for a short while but found it too harsh (really baaad herx).
It has me worried because there was never any injury or cut that I can remember.
Don't have the money to see another doctor but don't wanna let this go too long if it's serious.

I have had these scabs and they turned out to be skin parasites. Doctors are in denial about parasites. You would probably benefit on antiparasitic herbs.

Gael, what would you suggest as far as antiparasitic herbs that are more gentle? I seem to be super sensitive to everything. It seems I herx or react from everything and I am such a weeny about it.

You can start with Humaworm and just do half the dose they suggest. You can also open the capsules into unsweetend applesauce and just eat a little at a time right before you eat.
That way you can step into it as lightly as you want.
