Scabs on rooster’s comb?

Today I noticed my rooster had some stuff on his comb. At first I thought it was face mites but upon further inspection I think it’s scabs. What do you think?

I've never seen anything quite like that. Any possibility they are black fly bites?

I don’t know. I haven’t seen any this year.
