Cuts and scrapes seem to heal with the red border and when complete skin that area is red 3 months later the area is brown. any ideas? hiv neg btw

Is that unusual?: Minor injuries in most folks have surrounding erythema. Extra brown in healing wounds may be a tip-off to early hemochromatosis, or may just be you. Mention this to your physicain. Best wishes.
