At first I saw a maroonish dot underneath my skin (where the area is) and I felt a certain discomfort. Almost as if something small but sharp somehow got in my skin. When I went into the area that appeared maroon immediately blood came out. And for a finger I would say that it was plenty of blood. After putting some alcohol on it I covered it with a cotton ball and placed something on it to hold it in place as I slept. The next day after a little rub against something blood came out, a decent amount again. A bigger adhesive pad was placed on it. After a few days the area simply didn't get better. It wasn't bleeding, but it just remained pretty similar to what is shown in the photos. I scheduled an appointment with a Dermatologist in my Union's Plan, but before I go I wanted to know more about it and if there was a way for me to get rid of the problem myself. Thanks.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Maroonish dot then large amount of bleeding even in 2nd day suggest injury to blood vessel or due to abnormality in coagulation. It might have happened due to local injury. Hope you are not on any medications and there are no other sites of maroon(bleeding) spots. If there check for your coagulation profile, LFT and complete hemogram once.Consult your doctor for for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
