I have a old scar and it is bleeding. should i go see a doctor. i have diabetes

Yes: An old scar should not bleed. If there is bleeding, i would be concerned about a growth in the area. Squamous cell carcinomas, a type of skin cancer, can happen in long-standing chronic scarring conditions. Please have a dermatologist evaluate this right away.
