What Causes Bleeding From Laparoscopic Scar After So Long?

I have a laparoscopic scar from like 10 years ago, that has suddenly started bleeding a week ago. It scabbed over, & the scab fell off, but appears to have been just dried up liquid? And, it's more red than the other sites, and hard around all the edges...The opening is perfectly round in the center, like a bullseye. Is this ok?

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

It could be injury to superficial vessel. I woud suggest you not to worry and do following things:
> Keep scar clean.
> Don't touch it with dirty hands
> Clean scar with spirit swab thrice a day for 3 days.
> Put polyfax plus ointment over it.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
