How To Stop Bleeding From An Old Scar?

Hi, my boyfriend has had this scar for over 2 years now and out of the blue it has suddenly started bleeding. He claims to not have accidentally rubbed up against something or come in contact with something sharp that could have reopened the old wound. What could be causing this?

hello
thanx a lot for your query on HCM,
may be it is due to some friction at that area with clothes.
may be he is wearing tight clothings.
increased friction at that area causes the area to get wounded and lead to bleeding.
anyways do take precautions to avoid friction.
do wear loose clothes.
things will improve
