Bump

I have a small bump by, in or on top of one of my smaller incision! Is that normal and what could it be? I was banded on the 24th and still have my clear bandages on!

Are you allergic to adhesives of any kind? That could be symptom. I would ask you do you keloid but I think its to early for that. Does it itch and/or is it painful? My incisions felt a little hard and knotted at first. Now they are smoothing out ( I was banded on the 10th of July). I was told this is normal. BUT and I stress this advice: Consulting the doctor would be the best thing to do if you are concerned.

Not allergic to bandages that I know of. No pain of any kind .. I will call Monday morning! I am taking bandages off tomorrow!

You're probably just healing. I had dermabond aka body glue on my incisions. It was quite bumpy until the glue came off.

Could be scar tissue my incision above my port has a bad lump of scar tissue but i guess it happens
