What Causes Black Discoloration On A Skin Graft?
I have been having pseudoseizures and have been falling. This started in November. I have hit my forehead and gashes it open and has been open since December, I had a skin graft done 3 weeks ago and I am still being monitored by my doctor, there is a part on the top of the graft starting to turn black....what does this mean?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the black discoloration on a skin graft suggests compromised blood supply to a particular portion mostly due to underlying microbial infection or else.
If you can provide me a photo picture of the same in private consultation, I can help further best in this case.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
