How Can A Stigmata On The Hand After A Skin Surgery Be Treated?

After removal of skin cancer, my hands show the stigmata . Skin surgery was one swipe using the Mohs procedure on my right ankle and not a lot of blood was spilled. I have had this surgery two other times on different body parts. The stigmata appeared in on left hand first and I assumed I had cut or bruised myself. Couple days later appeared on right hand. What gives?
