Hi,
had a core biopsy done on thursday(two punches) Took the dressing off today (saturday) as instructed and was a bit surprised at all the blood.
it started bleeding again and has not stopped–not gushing, just seeping. Is this normal??y.The leaflet they gave me did not mention bleeding.
Found a discussion paper written by researchers saying that the problem with doing a core biobsy on malignant tumors is how much they bleed.Does this mean it might not be benign after all (i know, everybody says do not google, but this was a scientific paper)
anyway, decided to rest today to give it a chance to heal up(tiny tiny hole, not even big enough for me to put a paper stitch on, but i suppose that might help) I would realy like to get back to normal activity tomorrow. I suppose the main thing is to keep it clean. I have used anticeptic wips and a sterile dressing and will have another look tomorrow.
I know this is a small problem compared to what most people have to go through, but I just was not expecting it.
