Why The Scab In The Elbow Is Oozing A Lot After An Injury?
My husband fell and scraped/banged his elbow about ten days ago. It was swollen at first, but the swelling went down after a day or two. There is a scab...but, 3 days ago it started oozing A LOT. Like a fountain. It has been oozing, bubbling white since then. Not sure what to do.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that the lesion would be deep up to the vascular region and some vessel might be damaged so there is profuse bleeding seen, in such condition this need to be examined clinically and for that you better see the surgeon, hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
