Stitch question, EASY 10 POINTS?!
Question: Stitch question, EASY 10 POINTS!?
I had surgery a week ago!. I have a large incision in my belly button & three on the right side of my chest!. I was wondering if it is normal for them to be a bright pink, very warm to the touch, & bruised around them!.
Please only serious answers!
Thanks in advance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you are running a fever I would definately get in touch with your healthcare professional tonight!!! That could be a sign of sepsis, aka infection!. They should not be warm to the touch, but I have seen bruising around staples if that is what was used on your belly for the large incision!. Either way, even if you aren't running a fever contact a healthcare professional tomorrow, just to see what they say!. They might take a blood draw and check your white count or just the stitches themselves!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yep completely normal!.
That's the reaction of the skin to stitches right before they come out!. You WILL have them removed in a day or two orso, won't you!?!
BTW I did not know you could have a 'large' incision IN your belly button! What a huge BB you must have ha ha!Www@Answer-Health@Com
