Why would an incision scar turn DEEP purple?!
Question: Why would an incision scar turn DEEP purple!?
I had laproscopic surgery on my abdomen April 23rd!. Everything went fine, I healed quickly with no complications!. I had my post-op check up &had my incisions checked out &the surgeon said everything looked great & I did not need to come back unless I had any questions or problems!.
Here it is a month & a half later & the little incision which is less than a half inch long ( and was closed with surgical glue ) is really painful!. I cannot sit down or bend over without it throbbing, or it feeling like someone is jabbing me with a knife in that area!. I have to unbotton my pants to even drive my car!. Yes, I have been feeling a little under the weather but thats common for me!. ( stomach issues, IBS, diarrhea and so on)
I saw my regular doctor!. He said, yes it looks like it did not heal like we would want it to!. Gave me some ointment!. Doesnt seem concerned with infection!.
Has anyone else ever had a scar turn deep purple!? What could it possibly be!? Its not a keloid, had them before!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
It sounds like it is infected deeper within the skin tissue which requires more than an ointment, either antibiotic pills or possibly more treatment by your surgeon!. I would call the doctor that did the surgery to follow up on this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
