Why are blood stains thicker around the edges?

Was cleaning a stain and it occurred to me it should be evenly spread, however the edge is thicker and harder to clean than the center of the stain.

The edge evaporates first because it has a greater surface area. The solids there congeal and become harder to clean off than the still-dissolved ones in the center.
