Scrape coverer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scab

(Other definitions for scab that I've seen before include "Crust forming over wound" , "evidence of recent injury" , "Ignorer of strike" , "Crust formed over wound" , "Crust that forms on a healing skin wound" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
