Hi there, Bleeding sores between legs after chemotherapy should not be ignored and better to show to hematologist or oncologist who is treating her. Sometimes due to severe bleeding the situation may turn serious as well, So get expert help as soon as possible. Bleeding may be because of low platelets also which may be because of chemotherapy and can endanger life. Take care
