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 m 18 years old and i m worried about how my body heals itself from wounds. In the past when i was 14 I had a tooth out and the dentist was worried about the amount of bleeding so she advised me to go the doctors to get it checked up. They did a few blood tests however they did not find anything wrong. Recently i ve had another tooth out in February and I bled a lot, it took roughly 5-6 days for it to start to clot and got an infection in the wound within the next day of it being removed. The wound from where my tooth was still has not fully healed yet. The dentist had planned to take another one out but due to the bleeding she wanted me to have it out at the hospital so has booked me an appointment there. On my chest, back, arms and legs i have typical teenager spots that break out into scabs although when it heals it produces a thin yellow layer on the top that is almost like discharge and is appears red around the outside. It takes a few days for these scabs to heal and sometimes leaves small scars. I was just wondering if i should have a cause for concern for me bleeding so much when i get cut and getting infections so easily on the wounds. My mum has a blood clot in her leg from having my brother and my dad s side of the family also seem to bleed a lot as well if this helps.
