Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I am writing this for my mother, she is 43 years old. When she was a child she was treated by a doctor who gave her a vaccine, but ever since that Doctor treated her, the scar remained there on her elbow up until now. and a week ago, she went to the laundry and when she closed the washer door, she hit her scar and it left her with a huge bruise. She told me that when she touches very softly it hurts her, the skin tissue is really delicate. And as of today, when she was getting off of the bus, she bumped into one of the metal doors by accident, and now her brusie is expanding... What we are most worried is if this scar is malignant. My mother told me that when she touches a specific place of her scar, she feels like there is a hole, like there is no muscle underneath or skin tissue. We are really worried if this is going to get worse.
see any injury is followed by inflammation on that site leading to fluid accumulation. if its malignant,then it will increase in size and change in colour from the normal.has she developed enlarged lymph nodes in arm pits or any bumps.if thats so then get the fnac of the scar region done to rule out your doubt.
