Little Red bumps on scar

Hi i had a accident last august that left me with a huge scar, this morning i woke up to find tons of little red bumps all over the scar and in the surrounding areas there is no itch or pain associated with the bumps, i popped on to see if it was blood blister and clear fluid came out. should i be worried? the scar is on my inner thigh is about a foot long and is about 1inch wide around my knee. thanks =)

Hi,

This may be an overlying viral infection.

I suggest that you seek immediate consult with an internist so that you will be properly assessed. Cuts and wounds may provide entry for certain organisms which may lead to a skin infection. In your case there is no associated pain or itchiness and the blisters have produced a clear fluid. A bacterial infection would result to redness and a greenish or yellowish discharge.

Avoid touching the affected area and wash the area only with a mild soap or cleanser.
Seek consult with your internist. A dermatologic referral may be needed.
