Why does my white self-harm scar have red (I assume blood) dots in the center where the razor cut?

zsk4150
Okay, so I used to self harm but recently stopped. I have multiple scars on the outside tissue of my right thigh. The scars are all white but some of them have red centers where the razor would have cut it. It’s been over a month so the wounds are all completely healed but the red centers are still there. Is it just because I cut deeper in those areas? Or is it a problem with the healing process?
