Incision Popped

OK so I was rubbing on one of my incisions and it popped! Is this normal?

According to research it is. But I want to make sure I didn't pop a stitch. I am almost 4 weeks out.

It didn't hurt when it popped but it is very tender to the touch now.

Any input or thoughts of what this could be would be greatly appreciated!

    That sounds bad. Maybe you should get on the phones with the doctor as soon as possible.

    How dotty mean popped? Like opened? At 4 weeks out that sounds bizarre! I'm not even two weeks out and my smaller incisions are healed, only my drain hole is still open.

    I would call your doctor as I would think that is not normal!

    No felt it internally. They are all healed and closed.

    Mine popped and create a hematoma...and that hurt like hell for 2 months. So if yours doesn't hurt..I doubt it is serious. Good luck!
