Healing crust (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scab

'healing crust' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scab that I've seen before include "sign of wound healing" , "Dried surface of wound" , "one crossing picket line" , "Sore - blackleg" , "Derogatory term for a strike-breaker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Telegraph.
