bleeding two days after core biopsy?

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.

hi old andlumpy,i wouldnt worry too much or give them a ring if u are,as for the malignant ones bleeding , mine didnt much at all so it proves nothing in my eyes,maybe keep light dressing at night but let air get to it if poss,dont know if thats any help but take care x

Hi OAL have sent you a PM J xx
