I Spilled Boiling Water On My Stomach On November 24.

I spilled boiling water on my stomach on November 24. It immediately blistered in two places, each about 2.5 inches long and 1 inch wide. The blisters popped and the wound started to scab within a few days. However, each time I would take my underwear down, it would pull at the scabs, so it was slow to heal. At this point most of the area has healed although it is a shade of purple. There are two areas, each about an inch long and half an inch wide that have not healed. The areas bleed several times each day; sometimes just a few drop and other times a puddle of blood on the floor. What should I do?
