Scar Along Lower Abdomen, Turned To Blister, No Feeling In Area. Pregnant. Any Ideas?

I have a scar along my lower abdomen, which is covered by my bathing suit....it turned to a blister over vacation (I thought from sun)...it popped and the skin cover came off. Now a week later, it is turning black (like a bruise). It is not warm and I otherwise feel fine. I have no feeling in that area from surgery (scar), so I'm not sure if there is pain. I also found out that I'm newly pregnant. What's going on with me?!

Hi thanks for writing to Health care magic.Any blister or fluid filled lesion when ruptured it turns black.This is known as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.Since you are not having any pain and it is not warm there is nothing much to worry.Black spot will also fade as time passes.Blister formation may be due to some sort of allergy and your pregnancy has nothing to do with.I hope this can solve your query.Take care.
