What Does A Raised Area On A Scar Indicate?
I have an older scar on my foot just below my big toe that is roughly 7 years old. There has always been a small slightly raised area at the top that appeared to have a pin sized opening but this evening I noticed it was a bit larger than normal. When I was looking at it I squeezed it some and it opened and a small amount of liquid came out. any idea what this could be?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to an infected scar.
I suggest to clean the area with hydrogen peroxide
I also suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.
I also suggest using a clean bandage to cover the area.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
