Are dark areas on a skin graft donor site something to be concerned about? (photo)

keithwade90Jun 10, 2016
I received a few skin graft procedures approximately 3 years ago. The largest donor site is on my left thigh, recently noticed some dark areas on it. Perhaps bruising? I don't recall bumping it but then again there's not much feeling left in this area.

Our office specializes in keloid therapy. I would use a Hidef Scar Protocol to address your keloids so that they flatten out and smooth out. This may include lasers, injections, and topical therapy. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
