Is Bruising And Bleeding Of An Old Scar A Cause For Concern?

I have old scars form about 3-4 months ago maybe a little longer but what I’m concerned about is the fact that it has been bruising up and I can see from under the skin a little bit of blood with it right on the scar. Now can you please tell me why this is happening and should I do something about it? I hope you have an answer to this. Thank you

Hi,

Bruising and bleeding in scar is definite issue to think of. Immediately consult the dermatologist and get perfect examination and investigations to reach to the diagnosis. After thorough diagnosis, your doctor would give perfect treatment. Do not waste time.

Hope this helps you.
