Sign of healing (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scab

'sign of healing' 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 "despicable person" , "he refuses to come out" , "work when others are out" , "Evidence of healing wound - crosser of picket line" , "Disease of sheep" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the USA Today, The New York Times, the Universal, the LA Times and the Newsday.
