What Causes Blood Blister On Stomach During Pregnancy?

I have what appears to be a blood blister on my stomach. I am currently 25 weeks pregnant. about a week or so ago, I scratched it and it began to bleed, a lot. I covered it with a bandaid, but every time i take the bandaid off it begins to bleed again. Should i be concerned?

HI,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
The blister you refer to seems to be a dilated vericose vein . It has broken up the underlying vein & formed a vericose ulcer.. which needs specific dressing & treatment for healing.
Please consult a surgeon for the management.
Thanks.
