What can cause a wound to not only refrain from healing, but grow larger? I have a sore on my pinky finger that began months ago as a tiny spot...almost the size of a pin head. It has since grown to the size of a pencil eraser and bleeds almost everyday. When I put a band aid on it, it grows larger. If I touch it to anything, it bleeds. The bleeding usually lasts a few hours at a time. Ok, it's been almost a year now and hasn't improved at all. I am tired most of the time and have lately been experiencing moments of naseau. I don't know if the fatigue is real or just a result of stress. Sometimes, the wound burns. Other times, it feels like a bruise. But most of the time, it doesn't bother me with the exception of the bleeding. Also, after awhile wrapped in a bandaid, it gives off a very unpleasant odor. It sort of smells like a combination of infection and juicy fruit gum.
