If the scab has been there for some time without healing, it is time to take Winston to your vet. It could be allergic skin disease, bacterial or yeast infection, or an autoimmune disease, or something even more concerning, like a cancerous process. Your vet will likely want to examine and area and take samples from it to determine what is causing the scab.
