What Causes Bleeding From A Scar On The Forehead?
I got in a bad bike accident about a year ago and had to get a gash in my forehead glued shut. Today while I was looking in the mirror I saw that it was bleeding from two small holes on my scar. It has me a little worried so I was wondering why it happening?

Hello,
Reactivation of pre-existing scars is not common and a skin biopsy may serve to establish the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. In your case the bleeding from your scar after one year is also a reactivation of the scar and you are advised to see your doctor for a diagnosis and further course of treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
