I've been noticing these small black scabs on my scalp that just won't go away. They look like thick, rough patches of dead skin, but the rest of my scalp seems clean and dandruff-free. What's going on here? Could this be something serious?

I'm noticing these black spots appearing on my leg and they're a bit itchy. It's kind of weird because this just started happening out of nowhere, and I've never dealt with anything like this before. They seem to be spreading slowly, but it's strange that they're only showing up on my leg. Any idea what's going on?
