<s>[INST] I have what i thought was a broken blood vessel on my stomach and turned out to be like a red blood mole and i scratched it and it was bleeding for like 2 hours last night and it stops when i tape gauze to it.  I was just wondering if i should just keep doing that tell it heals or go see a Dr [/INST] HiThanks for your queryBased on your query, my opinion is1. Bleeding on skin should normally stop within three minutes. If it persists it indicates some bleeding problems maybe decreased platelet counts/ defective platelets/ vascular disorders.2. In your case it persisted for two hours which is abnormal. So you need to consult a doctor to evaluate the cause of bleed and appropriate course of action.3. You are not sure if its a mole or just a tear. So its important to know the type of lesion. That will help the lesion to heal faster as a mole can be excised so that you would not have this problem again.4. If its any other lesion, this would be confirmed with biopsy.Hope this helps.Regards </s>
