I had a facial mole removed 5 days ago and had 5 or 6 stitches to close the cut!. The doctor told me to clean it once a day and put ointment and gauze on it to keep it clean and prevent infection!. Now!.!.!.the area around the stitches is pink and a little tender, where as the rest of my face is white and painless!. Is this normal, or is something wrong with my stitchess!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
No, that sounds normal!. The skin might be a little irritated from having the stitches piercing it, but that sounds normal!. If it turns a dark color and gets all swelled up and really pussy, that's an infection!. But that doesn't sound like anything you have to worry about!.
Oh, and I had a mole taken off too!. Don't be alarmed if you feel or see a white substance come out of where the mole used to be!. That's normal, and goes away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
