hi I was hit in the shin bone by a board that was underneath a car tire about 4 months ago. We were trying to give the car traction and the board shot out and hit me in the shin bone area. It almost seemed like the board rubbed all of the hair off at the point of contact and it was really white and not bleeding at first, after a while it began to bleed and I put an ice pack on it. Now that a scar has formed it has a white color surrounding the scar and a pink center also if the scar gets bumped it sometimes takes a tiny chunk or layer of the scar out but it doesnt bleed. my question is should I be worried?
Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. If you are not having any discharge, pain or swelling at your scar no need to be worried, but if is you are having any of this contact your local surgeon or dermatologist and investigated for any infection.there are chances of developing infection in damaged tissue so be careful and if you have any abnormal feature contact to health facility.thanks.
