Suggest Treatment For Bleeding From Left Forearm
Question: Blood oozes from left forearm, my blood pressure and sugar level are normal,
Brief Answer:
Sterile dressing adequate
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Looking at the clinical symptoms and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Blood pressure does not cause oozing blood in locations like forearm. It is usually internal like Brain.
2. Oozing of blood is due to skin damage secondary to infection. Possibly it is a skin infection. As it has not healed properly, you might feel its oozing blood. If you are diabetic, healing will take longer.
3. The cause of injury or skin infection is necessary. If you give me more details about how it started, treatment taken and a clear picture, I will be able to help you more.
4. Also get a complete hemogram to evaluate for reduced hemoglobin, any neutrophilia and platelet counts.
At present, I do not suspect anything else other than a delayed infection, which requires regular sterile dressing. If required additional oral antibiotics can be taken along with serratiopeptidase to hasten healing. Avoid frequently removing scab or touching it.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
