Scar bleeding alittle
Alittle over 2 weeks post op
I have been in my boot for a few days now and I am noticing that my scar is bleeding a bit. This is only happening in some very small places where the scabs and dead skin is coming off. I have been puttin neosporin on it as well letting it air out at night. I am a bit conserned as I dont want it to get infected. Has anyone experienced this? should i go back to my doctor?
Hi - I had this happen and I went back to the doctor and the tech put a little donut cushion around the site so that it would not keep rubbing. Make sure you air it out and take off the boot when sitting or doing other things. It will scab up and should go away in a couple of days and you won’t need the donut after that.
My scar didn’t bleed but I did have some bleeding from the rubbing of the boot on my ankle — it was painful too. I put a donut on the area too and that worked well. Pay attention to the scar and if it makes you feel better, call the doctor.
I still have two timy little scabs on the bottom of my scar. My PT said not to put anything on it. Just let it do its thing. I can put vitamin E on the rest of the scar, but not to get it on the part that isn’t healed.
