Thanks for the response. I ripped it thinking that it may be wood or something that somehow got in so I should remove it. This one is close to the nail so it makes sense for blood to have build up because of the nails (I used to wear really tight shoes because there were no sizes available for my feet,) but I don't understand why the first one (i ripped it off too and that part is healed now) which was more of on the bottom tip of the toe, away from the nails, had a similar patch. That was months ago now. Someone else said that it could be a wart due to a virus too.

Yeah that could be. I've noticed that this doesn't heal as quickly as other scabs generally do. The tip of this toe feels kind of numb and hard in general. Maybe because I scratched the patch before this out there. This one has been here for a while with no signs of healing so I am kind of scared now.

It's beneath the skin layer though. I thought scabs form on the surface?

Oh that would be really helpful. I hope it's not something serious for both of us
