Asked By:Msquestions in Kingsland, GA

Hematoma, the size of a peach, dripping dark blood after scab came off incision 5 days ago. Still large, and leaking steadily. Not much reduction in size. Will this resolve over time or will surgical evacuation be needed? Obv concern about infection with the open, though small, wound.?
