Is it normal for a scab to turn black?

A few days ago, I went ice skating with my cousin for her birthday. I didn't wear socks that wen't up very high so my ankle got a little gash on it, (about a centimeter long) I though nothing of it untill it started to itch and turn black. Is this normal?

    Yes. Scabs that are comprised of large amounts of red blood cells will turn seemingly black as they dessicate and dry.

    If the skin turns black, it's ER time.

    Dried up blood looks black if that's what you're talking about
